Whoops, that should say: increasing the safety of the package, rather than the
safety of the 'program'.

E.g. with GNAT, these arguments can be supplied:
   "-gnato -gnata -funwind-tables -bargs -E -largs --stack=0x2000"
The 2000 bytes figure could be too small.

[No "-Xlinker" before the "--stack=..." for GNAT 3.15p in Linux.]

[To get GNAT's Symbolic tracebacks to return line numbers (excl. RedHat),
instead of an empty string, the "-bargs -E" option would be added. A question
about that was asked on 17-Dec-2002]
