The width and height of a stack

[Paul Hibbert]

Seems to be working fine here (including breakpoints) with LC 7.1.0 (dp1), LC 6.7.6, LC7.6.4 and LC 5.5.5 on OS X 10.10.4

Simple test stack is on DBx if it’s any use…

If I put a breakpoint after the first sizing statement, it never reaches the breakpoint.
