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?
