This specifies the minimum size for the supervisor stack, in case a 
program has to reserve such stack space itself (for example when a 
callback routine is called from MacOS and this then wants to call a 
routine in Atari-mode, because one has to ensure there that the SP 
when switching to the Atari-mode lies within the Atari address space 
and this can only be effected with an own, local stack).

Warning: It is imperative that one keeps to this value, because though 
5 kb suffice on the older 68k machines as a rule, on the newer PCI 
PowerMacs over 12 kb is required when the network (Ether-Talk) is 
active! However, it is best if one forgoes the creation of one's own 
supervisor stack completely, to avoid such problems in the future. In 
case of doubt one should contact the author of the MagiC Mac kernel!
