Question about SCO Xenix and stack size

I recently ported a program from an Altos 2086 running Altos Xenix 
3.4b to an 80286 based AT clone running SCO Xenix 2.2.1.
The program compiles and links O.K. but it dumps core at run time, 
giving the classic "Stack overflow - Bus error: core dumped" message.

Can somebody tell me how I can increase the stack size?  
What is the default stack size for the SCO (Microsoft?) compiler?
(I know I should RTFM but its in another office that I can't get to - 
no flames please):-).

BTW I am certain that its not the code since I have the program 
running on a variety of machines running UNIX, Xenix, and DOS and 
they all work fine.

Thanks in advance.
