Yeah you're right :) I mentioned ASP because the ASP (IIS) stack size is
the same for VBScript and JScript and it's pretty limited.

In any case Gregori, I didn't mean to be rude or anything. It was just that
the "sad isn't it" quote kind of got to me :)
I'm not going to go into the technical stuff anymore then I have. I suggest
you try the emalloc(), efree() solution I suggested and let us know if it's
good enough for what you need. But if you have very heavy recursive
mathematical computations I really suggest you either go with Sascha's
suggestion of going iterative, or write a PHP C module that will support
your math stuff. If it's pretty much general purpose it'll go into the PHP
4.0 tree.
