Do we have some system supported by Emacs where the stack is merely a
64KB?  I think Emacs cannot run on such systems anyway; in the old
days when DJGPP (used to produce the DOS port) had a 256KB limit on
the stack, the Emacs binary was produced specially to have twice that
much, i.e. 512KB, because 256KB were not enough.

I think 512KB used by the DOS port is the smallest amount of stack we
have on any supported platform.
