Stacks are temporary data structures that MS-DOS and applications use for processing hardware events. If, while setting up Windows for Workgroups, the Setup program detects hardware or software that requires a certain stack size, Setup places the following command line in your CONFIG.SYS file:

From the readme.wri file that comes with windows for worgroups:
2.0 Preventing Stack Overflow
Stacks are temporary data structures that MS-DOS and applications use for processing hardware events. If, while setting up Windows for Workgroups, the Setup program detects hardware or software that requires a certain stack size, Setup places the following command line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
stacks=9,256
This should be sufficient most of the time. However, if you receive the
"Internal Stack Overflow" message, first try increasing the second number
on the stacks= command line. If that doesn't work, try increasing the
first
number. For more information about the stacks setting and modifying the
CONFIG.SYS file, see your MS-DOS documentation.
