OK, understand.
But even if we don't have ability of grow down stac it could be possible to allocate dynamic-sized block at startup. Eg. to set min and max limits where the current value could vary according to amount of available RAM. So e.g. under plain DOS where all belongs to us we could allocate, say, 10MB of 256MB, 20MB of 512MB... 40MB of 2GB for stack or so. Could be better that one fixed value for wide range HW from 386 with 4MB up to icore with 4GB... :)
