According to MitchAlsup1 <
mitchalsup@aol.com>:
Stacks are small because OS people make them small, not because of
a valid technical reason that has ever been explained to me.
"To avoid infinite recursion" is not a valid reason, IMHO.

Algol 60 only had stack allocation for dynamically sized arrays,
so stacks had to be as big as the data are.
Huh? Algol 60 routines could be mutually recursive so unless it was
a leaf procedure or the outer block, everything not declared "own"
went on the stack.
On my FreeBSD server the default stack limit is half a gigabyte. I
don't ever recall running into it.
