When embedding R, the stack base is set to -1 (which is almost certainly wrong) if R cannot find the stack base using some system method. I have just fixed the detection for OS X, so you shouldn't get that message there anymore. However, I was wondering why to not set it to something reasonable - even if we are not the main application, IMHO less harm is done setting it to something based on the current stack pointer than using -1. The status quo relies on the embedding application to set the stack base - I don't know if that's a good idea. Opinions?
