Andy suggested looking at stack overflow/underflow handlers by Hieb et al.,
which could be an option in the longer term. My understanding is that the
paper suggests creating a new stack segment upon stack overflow and linking it
to the previous stack.
This policy may not always be desirable. Raising a stack-overflow exception
as we currently do leaves it up to the application to decide which policy to
apply. IOW, it separates mechanism from policy.
