The kernel has an 8K stack max. That said, it *could* be your stack. Do you get any panics or oops? If so, you *could* write them down :-D And debug them later. If it appears corrupted, then it's probably stack. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
