Nothing specific ..neither do I want to write a daemon program now.
The whole issue started since someone mentioned that his recursive program
was stopping after sometime (after 52K iterations). The solution given was
stack overflow.
I ran the same program and it seems to be running well over 12 hr...That's
why I asked how come the difference.
If its stack overflow....why is it not overflowing in my machine ??? (p2 64
MB RAM). I just complied as it is(gcc -o test test.c)

My question is why would you want to write such a program which does an
infinite recursive looping.
If your intention is to write a daemon program, it is much more complex
-- you need to detach from the terminal and ignore certain signals, etc.
You can get the skeleton daemon program either from Advanced UNIX
Programming Environment or by digging the web.

This program is still running well above 12 hrs (running since lastram.

I am sure it would have run more than 52K times ...Any clues what's
happening here ??? No segmentation fault nothing .
Don't exactly remember gcc version..
