I did regression tests for switching from IF 2013 to IF 2016 and suddenly a subroutine that took 11K of stack now wants 3M of stack. Please note that this IS NOT LIKE https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-fo... since I neither have dynamic allocated arrays nor doing array-operations on large arrays. I could track down a strange effect where duplicating a single function call adds 128K of stack-space.
Changing Fortran > Optimization > Heap Arrays to 0 as suggest in https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-fo... didn't change anything.
Please refrain from proposing to increase the total stack-space of the process: this is a problem of the compiler not the OS
