[Mono-dev] Stack size with mono-2.6.1

[Thierry Lafage]

Thanks for your answer.
I'll try one of your solutions.

IMHO, a nice long term fix for it would be to provide a command-line 
option to set a max value different from the default's, as for java and 
heap size (-Xmx). This way, one could fine tune according to the running 
application.

Thierry Lafage.
