In case of a stack overflow *anything* using the stack is doomed. But if we're talking about checking the stack it shouldn't be too hard to add some safety bytes to the check, should it?

But honestly, I don't understand the issue at all: How often would it happen that several threads try dumping their stack at the same time? In the real world, I mean?

I'd be for allocating the buffer statically and for MT safe code you still can add critical sections later. After all, dumping two stack traces at the same time wouldn't be very readable, neither. ;)


Vinzent.
