Thank you iavor. But the -K option doesn't appear
to work with ghci. And I guess the bigger
question is what sort of code causes a
stack overflow. If 5M is enough stack for most
programs then I obviously have some basic coding
error which is causing a stack overflow...
What sort of code causes that?

hi,
programs compile with GHC have a bunch of command line switches.
you can see them by typing:
myProg +RTS -help
one of them enables you to specify stack space, e.g.
myPorg +RTS -K5M
(very briefly) the stack is a part of memory used by the compiler to
pass around arguments
to functions, and for temporary computations.

GHC assumes the user knows the difference between
the heap and the stack. I don't. No matter how
much heap I specify on the GHCi command line, I
get a stack overflow exception. I have no idea
what that means or how to remedy it. Hints?
Note: My program is basically creating a few 100k
item FiniteMaps. I don't think that should exceed
the memory on my laptop....
