Comment #5 on issue 186 by [email protected]: Thread stack size should be set explicitly to reduce virtual memory usage
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=186
I would say that we shouldn't make any code modifications here and leave the stack size as set by the os.. If you really want to reduce it you may do that with -s if you _really_ want to.
Personally I'd prefer to waste some memory as unused stack over "potential" stack overflows in there (if someone changed a datatype making the problem using a bit more stack space...) To me 48MB isn't that much memory in the big picture....
