Windows
-------
+- Boosted the stack reservation for python.exe and pythonw.exe from
+ the default 1MB to 2MB. Stack frames under VC 7.1 for 2.4 are enough
+ bigger than under VC 6.0 for 2.3.4 that deeply recursive progams
+ within the default sys.getrecursionlimit() default value of 1000 were
+ able to suffer undetected C stack overflows. The standard test program
+ test_compiler was one such program. If a Python process on Windows
+ "just vanishes" without a trace, and without an error message of any
+ kind, but with an exit code of 128, undetected stack overflow may be
+ the problem.
