I think I know what the problem is:  Putting a start_process statement
inside a loop like that is going to end up starting so many processes
that the stack fills up almost instantly.  I think you probably only
need a single IRCheck process running.  Try something like this:

    int d;              /* note that this is a global variable */

    void main() {
        int ipid;
        sony_init( 1 );
        ipid = start_process( IRCheck() );
        while( ! stop_button() ) {
            printf( "IR data: %d", d );
            msleep( 250L );
        }
        kill_process( ipid );
        sony_init( 0 );
    }

    void IRCheck() {
        while( 1 ) {
            d = ir_data( 0 );
            defer();
        }
    }

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

HELP!! I keep getting this message whenever I try to multitask with my board: "Not enough stack memory for new process while executing main (process # 1)" The only things loaded are the hb libs, my code and the sony ir routines totally nowhere near (...)
