Thanks.  I get what you're saying now.

I don't have the foggiest.  I'm afraid you'll have to resort to the
debugger!  I would have guessed inlining, but if you say there's none
going on, I'm really at a loss.

I'm sorry not to be able to be of more help!  I suggest trying to
verify that each subroutine is freeing all of the stack space it
allocates, and finding which one is using so much more stack then
before.  Then, perhaps, it will be simpler to see what's going on.
