Re:Stack problem

well i said its not a hard rule, you can have odd value stacks. there were some cpus that reset when you had an odd number and rolled the stack over >64kb wraparound.
also, current cpus are more optimised for word+dword alignment, so using odd boundaries will slow it down.
i've also seen programs that assume its an even number, and do some really odd things with the stack.
