There are number of reasons for stack overflow exception. As Daniel pointed,
program (a function??) could be allocating a very large stack space.Or,
- You are copying something to a variable on the stack, and buffer exceeds
bounds of the stack
- You are recursively calling a function and that never ends
- Incorrect function pointer casting
These are all I can think right now.

I am attempting to port a C code that runs OK on a number of Linux and

up as a console application, but when I try to run it I get a stack overflow:
Unhandled exception at 0x0041e715 in NewMD.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack
overflow.
The call stack is:
NewMD.exe!_chkstk() Line 91
NewMD.exe!mainCRTStartup() Line 259 +0x19
kernel32.dll!77e814c()
All this appears to be happening before my C code actually does
anything.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it
It could be the allocation of some very large object. For example, a
static class variable that is very large. If the stack space is smaller for your
windows program than your unix program, the variable might not fit. Either
increase stack size or allocate such objects dynamically (i.e. on the
heap).
