Lately.. I've been on various sites.(one in particular.. Crate &

Dump?? So, what is stack dump.. All I have to do is close my browser,
and just click on Netscape again..(dont' even have to reboot)..
But I'm curious why this is happening. and what exactly is stack dump.
Running windows 98.. Plenty of free space.. So that's not the problem.
Stacks are a set of hardware registers or a reserved section of memory used
for arithmetic calculations or to keep track of internal operations. Stacks
normally are used to keep track of the sequence of routines called in a
program. That is, when a function is called, the return information is
"pushed" onto the stack. When the routine finishes, the information on the
return location is "popped" from the stack which allows the program to
return to it previous state.
A "stack dump" occurs when the operating system (OS) calls an instruction
that refers to memory beyond the limit of the stack segment.
The following may help. It's for Netscape 4.06:
