I've modified stack.c to handle 4k stacks. It can also provide information
for 8k stacks (fwiw) by changing STACK_GRANULARITY.
It found one stack with only 756 bytes left. I hope it's just due to a
greedy boot-time function as I'm not running anything particularly exotic.
(CIFS & Reiser4).
Unfortunately I don't have any more time to experiment: I'm leaving for
a week.
