Frankly, I think you should get your facts right before mouthing off about
supposedly 'braindead' operating systems.

Win32 behaves exactly as it should - it dynamically grows the stack as it's
needed. The default stack size (as given in the EXE) is merely the maximum
stack size, not the initial size.

Put another way, POVWIN has a maximum stack size of 1mb per thread, currently,
as I have to date seen no compelling reason to change this.
