You need to increase the STACKSIZE in find.c

[gnn]

Hi,

On a large project, such as the FreeBSD kernel, I could not longer get
gtags to complete.  There really seem to be two problems:

1) STACKSIZE is set to 50, and needs to be larger.  1024 worked for
me.

2) I believe, but am not sure, that the way in which files are
excluded is by finding each one first.  If I exclude the compile/
directory, by adding it to skip, gtags still tries to walk every patch
in that directory.  Shouldn't gtags simply ignore that directory
completely?

Best,
George Neville-Neil

OK. I'll rewrite the stack using dynamic allocated array.

You are right. I'll also change this illogical behavior.

The following release might include these fixes.
Thank you for your report!

どういたしまして。

I look forward to the next release.  I have written about global for
ACM's Queue magazine.  You might be interested to link to them from
here:

Best,
