Microsoft C version 6.00 uses stack space differently than Microsoft C
version 5.10. Thus, programs that use most of the allocated stack
space under C 5.10 will cause a stack overflow when compiled with C
6.00. This problem can be resolved by increasing the stack space by
using the /F compile option or the /ST linker option.
