   I do not understand what you are asking.
   If you are refering to what happens when a program ask for space.
I assume that the call to ask for space is returning a no space available flag.
I assume it is a system function that is determining if their is any stack space
available.  NOTE:  To run out of stack space would seem to indicate a loop of 
some
kind.  I have allocate 67,088,384 of stack space.  I have also allocate 
268,435,456
for data space.

  I know of no way to access this system.

# grep hstrerror /usr/include/*

   I did a little more searching and I have determined that
these two symbols are not defined in the gcc 4.2.4 districution.  That is;
when I did a grep on:

$ grep -E "DINFINITY|DQNAN" /usr/local/include/c++/4.2.4/tr1/*

   They were not found.  However; the float.h and the math.h files
are in the distribution.

$ ls -la /usr/local/include/c++/4.2.4/tr1/float.h
-rw-r--r--   1 root     system         1551 Jun 11 14:23 
/usr/local/include/c++/4.2.4/tr1/float.h
$ ls -la /usr/local/include/c++/4.2.4/tr1/math.h
-rw-r--r--   1 root     system         2846 Jun 11 14:23 
/usr/local/include/c++/4.2.4/tr1/math.h



$ grep -E "DINFINITY|DQNAN" /usr/include/*
/usr/include/float.h:#define DINFINITY _DBLINF
/usr/include/float.h:   extern  unsigned   int DQNAN[2];
/usr/include/float.h:#define DBL_QNAN   (*((double *) (DQNAN)))
/usr/include/math.h:#define DINFINITY _DBLINF
$ grep -E "DINFINITY|DQNAN" /usr/include/sys/*
$ grep -E "DINFINITY|DQNAN" /opt/freeware/include/*

The attachment has a copy of the both float.h and math.h files.
I have also attached the config.log and config.h files.


# pwd
/tmp/VIM/guile-1.8.5/libguile
# grep -E "DINFINITY|DQNAN" *.h
# cd ../
# grep -E "DINFINITY|DQNAN" *.h
config.h:/* Define to 1 if you have the `DINFINITY' function. */
config.h:/* #undef HAVE_DINFINITY */
config.h:/* Define to 1 if you have the `DQNAN' function. */
config.h:/* #undef HAVE_DQNAN */


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't know if it makes any difference; but I have found a copy of Guile 1.6 
installed in the
/usr/local directory.

Bye,
Dwight
