To temporarily fix buffer issue when running at flash, use bigger buffer
to push down the stack deeper.

What does this mean? "temporarily fix" ? Do you have another,
permanent fix in the works

Is this really, really necessary?  Memory is a scarce resource
pre relocation.

I am not happy with this "fix" either. Kumar changed the code to use
deeper buffer as a workaround. This is the only way I can make it work
following him.
