If you're using linux, you might try "ulimit" in the terminal type ulimit -a to see all the things you can configure ulimit -s 20480 sets the stack size to 20 Mb, it is by default 10 Mb I don't know if this will work... I don't profess to understand threads or stacks, and pd might have its own system for setting max stack size.
pd does have its own stack overflow detection mechanism which you cannot control via ulimit: whenever the stack depth reaches a certain number (which is hardcoded in the pd-source and not adjustable at runtime) pd will break the loop and print "Stack overflow".
if you had a "real" stack overflow, things are likely to be worse.

I have had a recursive problem once that was solved using ulimit. Chuck Henry
