Is there a way to increase the stack size limit within /bin/sh?

The current configuration (OS X 10.2.6, X11 Beta 3 - XFree86 4.2.1)
seems to allow only a decrease?

You can raise and lower the stack size at will, but there is a hard limit of 65536 KB that you cannot exceed. Even a superuser can't exceed that limit; it may require a kernel recompile to change.

Why do you need a stack larger than 64 MB, anyway?
