11.11. The Windows version of ODE crashes with large
systems

ODE requires stack space roughly on the order of
O(n)+O(m2), where n is the number of bodies and m is
the sum of all the joint constraint dimensions. If m
is large, this can be a lot of space!

Unix-like operating systems typically allocate stack
space as it is needed, with an upper limit that might
be in the hundreds of Mb. Windows compilers normally
allocate a much smaller stack. If you experience
crashes when running large systems, try increasing the
stack size. For example, the MS VC++ command line
compiler accepts the /Stack:num flag to set the upper
limit.
