[ruby-core:22628] Re: [Feature #1218] New method needed to set and get the current recursion limit

I don't do much pthreads programming.
The call you want seems to be:

int pthread_attr_setstacksize(pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t stacksize)
                        Set the stack size attribute in a thread attributes
object.
See:
http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/pthread.3.html
(The prospective 'C' extension would have to get at the relevant
pthread_attr_t)

Here's the little test script I forgot to attach yesterday:

$a=0

def x
  $a += 1
  x
end

begin
 x
rescue SystemStackError
  puts "After #{$a} levels"
  puts $!
end
