When aircraft is at max possible operational ceiling

Question: Will the TCAS command a climb, when to do so, initiate a stall, and perhaps then fall ON top of the other aircraft.

In other words, will the TCAS consider the possible rate of climb that the aircraft can maintain, in order to avoid the TRAFFIC....


Answer: if the aircraft can not climb at 1500 fpm or more a climb instruction will not be issued.

However my question is still of interest, and what if BOTH are limited by this constraint.
