Would somebody mind providing a pointer to how to make this change? I've seen
it mentioned from time to time on this list, and I just Googled for it and
found quite a few references to 4K vs. 8K stacks, but I have yet to see any
reference to HOW to change it. I don't recall noticing such an option in the
kernel configuration options (I have compiled the Linux kernel more times
than I can remember), but it's possible I've just overlooked it. My apologies
if I am overlooking the obvious, but if this ISN'T an obvious option, a
pointer to instructions on how to set it (or verify current settings) would
be helpful.
