Ok. I think we can live with that.

What are your plans for the initial thread having an unlimited stack?
What is the stack size or stack base address?


I have no idea.  I'd sort of forgotten that unlimited stacks existed,
since Fedora always sets a reasonable default.

The only thing that I can figure that makes sense is to leave the
base address NULL to signal this fact.  Not terribly helpful, but
perhaps this isn't really the common case anymore.
