The stack for the main thread is created by the o/s when the process is
created; the vm cannot later increase the size of this stack. The stack
sizes for other java threads created by the vm are (mostly) controlled
by the vm, and use the -Xss<N> value or a default. (The 'mostly' is
because of operating system eccentricities.)
The different stack sizes for the main thread vs. other threads means
that some (typically recursive) routines may be able to run in one
thread, but not in another. It also means that the -Xss<N> argument
to set the thread stack size does not apply to all threads, at least
on some platforms. This asymmetry should be eliminated.
