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

[Gary Nelson]

stacksize(max)  continues to say 5e6. I tried stacksize(1e8) and my routines ran once and crashed on second attempt.

I ithen inserted stacksize(5e7) and all is well and larger data sets work.

Should this be reported as a bug given that it causes a crash?

Thanks

Gary Nelson
