Well, the way you start threading with pthreads requres a single 
initializer for the stack size; once you have initialized the threading 
environment you cannot change the stacksize later, to the best of my 
knowledge.

I suppose you could finesse a new python startup argument, or 
environment variable check.

I think the SF tracker is the best way to approach that.
