So ... I have a Dylan app linking with the Visual Studio 2012 linker on
Windows 7 (32 bit).

This isn't yet in a state where I'll be able to debug the exectuable, but I
think I have a plan for that.

However, when I try to launch the executable via the IDE, I get this error:

        Error: Serious Error: Failed to allocate stack in Spy call on
Thread ....

This happens when this function returns NULL:

https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/master/sources/runtime-manager/debugger-nub/x86-win32/remote_function_call.c#L97

This happens almost immediately, so it isn't a result of the 30 second
timeout that Andreas Bogk added many years ago.

Is this perhaps a UAC issue? Disabling UAC doesn't fix this (unless I
disabled it wrong).

For those who might find this subject interesting, I have a public board in
Trello that lists the issues that I've found so far in using OpenDylan
2012.1 on Windows:
