+<title>After adding my custom filters, &my-app; crashes when visitting certain websites</title>
+<para>
+ This can happen if your custom filters require more memory than &my-app;
+ is allowed to use.
+ Usually the problem is that the operating system enforces a stack size limit
+ that isn't sufficient.
+</para>
+<para>
+ Unless the problem occurs with the filters available in the default configuration,
+ this is not considered a Privoxy bug.
+</para>
+<para>
+ To prevent the crashes you can rewrite your filter to use less ressources,
+ increase the relevant memory limit or recompile pcre to use less stack space.
+ For details please see the
+ <ulink url="http://pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrestack.html">pcrestack man page</ulink>
+ and the documentation of your operating system.
