You are correct. I've added a test case that creates the same situation
(just by doing "ulimit -s 1023" before running a test binary). It hits the
assert as well. (Production builds won't see this since they define NDEBUG.)
I made the initializer round the value taken from getrlimit up to page size.
Thanks,
Roland
