I think this is more a circular structure problem than
a too small stack.
Can you rebuild everything with CFLAGS=-g? (just change the
Makefile) and give me the backtrace from gdb?
(you will have to set a breakpoint in `barf()', like this:
% gdb
(gdb) b main
(gdb) run
(gdb) b barf
(gdb) c
(gdb) bt
)

I guess this is a 64-bit-specific problem, even though 1.14
seems to work fine on Alpha and IA64.
