} }I didn't realize that every function call involved a fault on the sparc }architecture - that sounds pretty nasty. Actually every function call doesn't cause a fault, every time you overflow/underflow the current set of register windows causes a fault. (Perhaps what you meant). This means that calling a function from the bottom most function will cause two faults, one for going down and one eventually as you go up. This makes going up and down when you don't overflow very fast at the expense of when you add to the total depth.
