; Stack checking code. These are actually two routines, one to check the C
; stack, and the other one to check the 6502 hardware stack.
; For performance reasons (to avoid having to pass a parameter), the compiler
; calls the cstkchk routine *after* allocating space on the stack. So the
; stackpointer may already be invalid if this routine is called. In addition
; to that, pushs and pops that are needed for expression evaluation are not
; checked (this would be way too much overhead). As a consequence we will
; operate using a safety area at the stack bottom. Once the stack reaches this
; safety area, we consider it an overflow, even if the stack is still inside
; its' bounds.
