Of course I know nothing about Windows, but I very much doubt this is
sensible or workable as a general PCRE thing. In Unix, there's a
function called setrlimit() that sets an upper limit to the stack
(amongst other things) subject to a global maximum. Maybe you can do the
same in Windows, but I do not think this is something that PCRE should
be doing. It's the application that calls PCRE that should be adjusting
its environment.
