The whole MKCL process has hit the OS imposed limit on the size of the
stack.
A call to "ulimit -s" at the shell prompt should give you a number that when
multiplied by 1024 should be very close to the "stack size" claimed here
above.

Exhausting 8 Meg of stack is usually sign of some form of infinite
recursion in the program
so I would not even advise to attempt to grow the stack...

I'll try to investigate further.
