Short: V1.3 Kills GURUs (stack problem) Author: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger) Uploader: georg steger rolmail net (Georg Steger) Type: util/boot Version: 1.3 Requires: OS 2.0 (V36) Architecture: m68k-amigaos If you are running many programs that patch system functions (such as commodities and hacks) it might happen that sometimes your machine crashes without real "motivation". This is often caused by a too low stack of many programs (because of the patched routines increasing the stack usage of the corresponding system function). StackAttack tries to kill these GURUs by patching CreateProc(), CreateNew- Proc(), RunCommand() and SystemTagList(). It alters the stack passed to these routines depending on what parameters you supply to StackAttack. StackAttack allows you to set a minimum stack size a new process (program) shall have and also by how much bytes you want to increase the stack further NOTES: ====== o StackAttack only eats some hundred bytes! CHANGES IN V 1.3: ================= o Fixed my email address, which was not vaild anymore since many years o StackAttack itself does not contain any updates. I just decided to re-upload it, because StackAttack was removed from Aminet some time ago, after someone had uploaded a trojan infected version. *** StackAttack is FREEWARE *** ============================================================================ (C) Copyright 1997-2001 by Georg Steger.
