Leaking Stack Memory in Managed Code

There are only two real ways to leak stack space. The first is to have a method call that consumes significant stack resources and that never returns, thereby never releasing the associated stack frame. The other is by leaking a thread, and thus that thread's entire stack.

By default, the stack size on modern desktop and server versions of Windows® is 1MB.
