GLOBALSZ stack size

[Drew Mellor]

Hi,

I have problems with the global stack.

I get a stack overflow error when I try to create a list that exceeds about
350
compound terms. But if I try to increase the size of GLOBALSZ to above
about 220000 then I get a memory allocation fault (see below).

I am running gprolog 1.2.16 on a sun solaris (using gcc version 2.95.2).

Can anyone help?

thanks,
Drew
