* On Linux and OS X, for instance, the default thread stack size is whatever
* getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK) returns, which is often set at 8MB. Or, on Linux,
* if the stack size is unlimited, we fall back to 2MB. This causes particular
* problems on Linux, which allocates 2MB huge VM pages, and will often
* immediately allocate them for any stacks which are 2MB or larger.
*
* The default on Windows is 1MB, which is a little more reasonable. But the
* vast majority of our threads don't need anywhere near that much space.
*
* ASan and TSan builds, however, often need a bit more, so give them a the
* platform default.
