When I wrote this I was trying to maintain the "Standard windows behaviour" in 
the first instance with stack space expansion occurring only in the abnormal 
case (Where the app does have a stack depletion problem and therefore the env 
var is set)

If the concensus is to add space unconditionally (#ifdef only for Solaris) 
then I'm happy to do that.
