It would make sense to add this to the example config file that the
package does or should install.

Or, to see what their fix is and apply it as a patch.  I wonder if their
approach is to increase the limit, or to be less consuming of resources.

ulimit -s shows

stack size                  (kbytes, -s) 4096

on a system where I have no memory of messing with stack size.
That's 4 MB, which seems like quite a lot of stack.

I wonder if they really mean 128 MB of stack?
