I'm not using Java/iX yet, but the general solution for not enough POSIX stack
space is to :LINKEDIT ALTPROG SH.HPBIN.SYS and increase the *shell's* NMSTACK,
not the program that actually blows up.  This is because in the fork/exec
POSIX environment, you inherit your stack limits from your parent process, and
the shell is the parent of everything (assuming you invoke the shell first and
then run your user programs under the shell).
