On many systems, Emacs 23 needs much more stack space than Emacs 22,
especially when characters.el is loaded during dumping.

Sorry, I don't use AIX and am not familiar with that system enough to
give you any useful advice.  For starters, please find out how much
stack temacs has when it performs this command from src/Makefile:

        LC_ALL=C $(RUN_TEMACS) -batch -l loadup dump

(Again, I cannot tell you how to do that on AIX, unfortunately.)
