Re: Unhandled exception when pushing esi

`!thread' will tell you about the stack region for a particular thread
(assuming you have enough information saved in your dump file).

By default, non-GUI threads will have around 12K of kernel stack on x86
systems, I believe. If you need to check this at runtime, there is an
`IoGetRemainingStackSize' call that you can use in kernel mode.

Ivan,

Is there a way that I can check the currently used stack size for that
thread in the dump file? What will be the usual size limit for a kernel
stack for a thread?

Thanks for any advice.

My wild guess would be that you have exhausted the kernel stack
for that thread, by either creating a large on-the-stack variable,
of, by calling some _alloca() derivative function.
