BUG in vTaskList

FreeRTOS 4.7.x  port dsPIC The highwater mark field does not work for processors that have portSTACK_GROWTH == 1. There is no work around as the tasks stack length is not stored in the TCB structure. I have modified my copy to do so and also added a function to return current stack hw mark As a side note:   Blowing the stack is a common problem during embedded development and is a common source of hard to find errors. FreeRTOS would be a better product with better stack monitoring or checking facilites ( like RTEMS for example). Cheers.

From the WEB site- "Note that these options are only available on architectures where the memory map is not segmented and the stack grows down from high memory. Also, some processors could generate a fault or exception in response to a stack corruption before the kernel overflow check can occur"
