Well, like I said, I may be (and probably am) overprovisioning my
stacks.  But I know that you can't go too far below 32k and expect
anything to work.  For one thing, every stack frame needs to reserve
space to spill an entire register window (96 bytes), plus locals, plus
arguments that don't fit in registers.  For another thing, some of the
call stacks in X are ridiculously deep.
