Stack size on OS X

Hello,

It seems that the problem of stack size is still not solved in OS X (limited to 8Mo by default and
hard limit in the kernel to 64Mo with ulimit -s 64000). My unison is still crashing on
very big changes ...

However, I stumbled on this pdf (attached) which explain how to use
-stack-addr and -stack-size in the gnu linker to change the stack address and size.

Did anyone try this on OS X for OCaml program ?

I think stack limitation, for a functional program is not good and it is even worse when the limit
depends upon the platform.

Cheers,
Christophe
