The return value is the maximum number of bytes of stack space used so
238 
far by the specified thread. Note that this should not be considered a

true upper bound, for example it is possible that in the current test
240 
run the specified thread has not yet been interrupted at the deepest
241 
point in the function call graph. Never the less the value returned
242 
can give some useful indication of the thread's stack requirements.
