Comment(by gwright):

 Replying to [comment:17 altaic]:
 > The 0x4038 is right (although I'm not sure why it needs to be so large
 as described in StgRun.c). It comes from `RESERVED_C_STACK_BYTES + 48 + 8`
 = 16384 + 48 + 8 = 16440 = 0x4038.

 Yes, we seem to be working on this at the same time.

 The mystery is why this ever worked.  Test 4038 only failed for `ghci`
 when I was doing tests to verify my linker patches.  Was there simply more
 than 8 MB of valid memory in the stack area, or is something else going
 on?
