    It depends on your virtual machine.

    Note how this is problematic: The goal of Java is to 'write once, run
    anywhere.' If you have to tweak the VM, you begin to defeat this
    principle. If you need hundreds of megs available stack space,
    perhaps you should rework your code, removing some recursion and using
    a queue instead, thereby eliminitating a stack space dependency.
