stacksize("max") problem

[Ruben Bibas]

Hello,

I am building a custom made C function, used in scilab via the call 
function.
It is not a big function, however I need to increase the stacksize to 
make it work.

I used to use stacksize("max") which when the need for memory increased 
consistently make scilab crash with this error:
Operating system error: Cannot allocate memory
Memory allocation failed

Using stacksize(1e8) suddenly resolved all problems.

I don't really know how to report such a bug, but understanding the 
problem would be helpful !
I would advise the help to oblige stacksize to manually enter the value, 
since it makes scilab very unstable, especially with multiple cores 
computers.

Anyhow, great job with scilab!
Ruben
