		Attention Franz implementation wizards:

	How can I adjust the constants in the source to give me a bigger
namestack?  I tried doubling NAMESIZE (to 6144) and setting TTSIZE to
16000, and this works.  However, I am greedy, and I want an even larger
namestack:  the trouble is, if I increase NAMESIZE too much, Lisp can't
recover gracefully from a namestack overflow, and core dumps all over my
nice shiny floor.

	My question: what are the guidelines for increasing the size of the
namestack?

	Thanks.
