[scilab-Users] [scilab-users] stack size

[Sebastian Urban]

Dear Gary,

I was running in the same problem and found that you can set higher
stacksizes by giving a specific number, e.g. stacksize(2.8e8).
You can try to find your max that way. If you bet too high, you'll
receive an error notification immediately, no harm.

Is there a less annoying way to set the (real) max?

Sebastian
