Your "certainly" is misplaced since you do not restrict your claim to
a particular environment or program.
On VMS (even VAX) the stack space for the main DEC Ada task is limited
to roughly 1 Gigabyte (minus some overhead). The heap space is limited
to the same size, minus the size of the program. As programs get larger
the availability of stack space over heap space grows.
