When the /? parameter is used for EXEHDR, a listing is displayed
detailing the various switches accepted by EXEHDR. This list
incorrectly indicates that the /STACK switch must be followed by a
hexadecimal number between 0h and ffffh. In reality, the /STACK switch
must be followed by either a decimal number between 0 and 65535 or a
hexadecimal number using C notation (0x0 - 0xffff).

If any other format is used, EXEHDR will return the following error
messages:

   EXEHDR: error U1110: malformed number xxxx
   EXEHDR: error U1115: option /STACK:xxxx ignored
