Is it wise to fix the size of the stack like this? Don't we lose
something by circumventing the kernel's variable-size/floating stack
feature? Certainly, it seems that ulimit -s won't be respected (which
can be useful if you want to run a lot of threads on a 32-bit machine
and avoid running out of virtual memory).
