Making the point that in 1990, folks had grown beyond 4K stacks in kernels, along with MS DOS 640K Limitations.

But I seem to remember learning in CS101 (or whatever we called it),
that the stack grows down and the heap grows up.
So if 'folks had grown beyond 4K stacks', I guess they must be at 2K
stacks ?->
