Is there any information concerning options of compilers/invokers for different programming languages? Specifically, what is the value of "-Xss" option of Java VM? I've run into RE today because it is (apparently) very small and depth-first search on 50000 nodes fails because of this. IMO it is a good practice to publish compiler/invoker options and server configuration.

Aside from this, great job migrating to new test servers! For the first time it was possible to participate without cursing the server :)

    I've failed because of this twice today. Even though on contest.yandex.ru server it's set -Xss64M, when I manually started a new Thread with 32MB of stack, it passed all the tests.

    I'd be glad, if someone could explain me why that happened.
