 #Stack usage information is questionable on CPUs which push large holes on stack.
-#The stack checker has a tendency to generate a fault when trying to print the helpful diagnostic message.  If it comes out, congratulations. If not, then the variable Stack_check_Blown_task contains a pointer to the TCB of the offending task.  This is usually enough to go on.
+#Prior to 4.7.99.2, the stack checker used printf() instead of printk().  This often resulted in a fault when trying to print the helpful diagnostic message.  If using the older printf() stack checker and it comes out, congratulations. If not, then the variable Stack_check_Blown_task contains a pointer to the TCB of the offending task.  This is usually enough to go on.  Now that it is using printk(), it should be able to get messages out.
