I think what Schwartz is arguing is that this doesn't necessarily mean that this translates to 0 bytes of stack. That interpretation doesn't seem to match the standard, but I suppose a 0-byte stack is fine if you have a thread that doesn't need any stack at all. -- Patrick TJ McPhee North York Canada ptjm@interlog.com .
