gEDA-bug: [Bug 716051] [NEW] Some gnetlist backends overflow the stack.

[KaiMartin <716051@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Some gnetlist backends crash because of stack overflow when confronted
with moderately complex boards. Backends known to crash this ay are bom2
and drc2. This is a long standing issue, that frequently catches
newbies. The gnetlist FAQ contains the advice to increase the stack at
least since 2006.

Suggestion: Include the advice of the FAQ in the system-gentlistrc.

Long term solution would of course be better stack management.
