   No, it was-and-isn't.

   Yes, there is.  There are a couple of load-time differences between the two.

   No, I didn't *request* that.  Twice (you're mixing up .COM and .EXE style   
   stacks).   It *causes* SP to become zero [1], meaning its 64 KB away from   
   the start of the program - leaving a *big* hole between the end of the   
   program and the bottom of the stack.  which I don't want.

   Than I suggest you re-read my initial (thread-starting) message again.  My   
   description for method #2 literally starts with "Use a ".stack {size}"   
   definition".
