Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I have just discovered the VxWorks "checkStack" command and find that
after loading my system, bringing up a couple of dm screens and setting a
couple of process variables one of the lines of output from checkStack
reads: 

CA client    _camsgtask   fff138    4760   264  4760      0 OVERFLOW

Should I be worried by this ? If so, what can I do about it ?

I also believe that I am overflowing the stack in a subroutine attached to
a subroutine record that is being scanned periodically. How can I increase
the stack for a scan task ?

(I am using Epics 3.12.2)
