-- If System.Parameters.Sec_Stack_Percentage equals Dynamic, Stk is really
-- an OUT parameter that will be allocated on the heap. Then all further
-- allocations which do not overflow the main stack will not generate
-- dynamic (de)allocation calls. If the main Stack overflows, a new
-- chuck of at least the same size will be allocated and linked to the
-- previous chunk.
--
-- Otherwise (Sec_Stack_Percentage between 0 and 100), Stk is an IN
-- parameter that is already pointing to a Stack_Id. The secondary stack
-- in this case is fixed, and any attempt to allocate more than the initial
-- size will result in a Storage_Error being raised.
--
-- Note: the reason that Stk is passed is that SS_Init is called before
-- the proper interface is established to obtain the address of the
