[Openmcl-devel] Help with error: [Stacks reset due to overflow.]

Hi,

I am having some problems with the finger server, from the samples folder, 
and multiple processes. This code has been tidied up a bit and included at 
the end.

The ideas was to try out the new native processes with a simple "stress 
test" type app that would start n threads and just make multiple finger 
queries to a server. This would be done in both lisp processes and native 
threads, and then repeated using thread/process pooling.

When I run this I get the following error:

;[Stacks reset due to overflow.]

in Lisp processes this seems to continue quite nicely after the reset - I 
haven't examined the data, but the load on the processor continues and there 
is information being shipped across the network. In native threads this 
error does not show and there is no graceful recovery the load on the 
processor stops and so does any further network traffic - to be expected I 
guess.

My problems is that I've never seen this type of error and I don't have the 
first clue about what could be causing it, and where to look to rectify the 
situation. I've looked for resource leaks and I can't see any; it could be 
simple and that I've got code blindness, but even re-working the some of the 
code to tidy up my previous hacks didn't help.

If anybody could offer up any pointers it would be appreciated.

Barry
