Comment (by pbruin):

 I'm not sure what to think about the strategy to set the maximum PARI
 stack size to 1/4 of the maximum amount of memory that `malloc()` can
 allocate.  On a certain system that I use, this causes Sage to show up in
 `ps` or `top` as using 129 gigabytes of virtual memory (and
 `pari.stackmax()` returns exactly 128 gigabytes).  Of course this is
 harmless as long as the memory isn't actually used, but it looks/feels
 somewhat absurd.
