I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 on Windows XP.

I get a stack overflow at
test dword ptr [ecx],eax ; ...probe it
in chkstk.asm

but there is no recursion.

I get this apparent stack overflow with the following call stack

I understand that the stack size can be set using
Project: ProgName Properties: Linker: System: (Stack Reserve Size &
Stack Commit Size)

By default, these are set to zero. Presumably, this means that they
are set automatically. When I try to set these manually, it does not
even get as far as with zeros, despite how large the numbers I put.
Then I had this additional problem when I set the values back to 0.
Fortunately, I had made a copy of the .suo file so was able to get back
to where I was before I tried to fix the problem.

Can anyone see why I am getting a stack overflow and how I can fix the
problem?

Many thanks in advance,
Peter.
