Typo:

epicsThreadGetStackSize(-1) behaves like epicsThreadGetStackSize(2), not

like epicsThreadGetStackSize(0) as expected.

Hi folks,

I just noticed that epicsThreadGetStackSize(-1) behaves like

epicsThreadGetStackSize(3), not like epicsThreadGetStackSize(1) as

expected.

In other words if the requested size is smaller than small, I get a big

stack, not a small one.

Is that the intended behavior or should I write a fix?

Other fixes are needed anyway: The error messages have no \n.

Also I would like to implement a way to configure the stack sizes

dynamically (e.g. using a iocsh variable), so that I do not need to

rebuild EPICS base for stack hungry applications or for applications

with so many clients that stack size becomes an issue (32bit embedded

Linux with >400 CA clients in my case).

Any interest?

I would implement this for 3.14.12, as this is what we still use here.
