You probably already figured that the new Fiber seems to be
allocating its 16KB-stack, with an additional 4 KB guard page at
its bottom, via a 20 KB mmap() call. The abort seems to be
triggered by mprotect() returning -1, i.e., a failure to disallow
all access to the the guard page; so checking `errno` should help.
