False

The default stack size is set staticaly to some value by the linker 
(there is no command line option to adjust this IIRC) and therefore if 
you have e.g. recursive algorithms that need some more stack space then 
you _need_ this essentially. This is true for almost every second 
application I've seen. There is an option to set the stack size also in 
PureC and other compilers.

Hmm. sometimes there is a need to adjust these flags.... e.g. for .SLB?
