     I was not talking about the stack size but the bytecode size :  there
does not seem to be any option in this respect...
     If you can give me hint about where the constant for this limit is

     Default stack size for Win32 binaries is 1Mb.  I don't know for sure
for .NET binaries, but I guess it's about the same...
