Is this the case? Is it documented anywhere?

I asked this many times. Nobody can answer it. It is AFAIK only
specified
on MacOSX where then MachTask has a 16KB kernel stack. I wasn't even
getting an answer on this list if there is a different kernel stack
and what default
size it is. This and the initial glibc stack allocations are the only
thing that
are important. Everything else should have no influence on the stack
size.

I myself use 32 as minimum + what i allocate on the stack and it
hasn't failed yet.
