You forgot "most of the time".
Yeah, fair enough.
Its statistically less likely, which
merely means its evilly hard to debug
Not being able to debug the cases that occur (and the fact that
they're rare, as you're pointing out) is as much of a problem as the
crashes themselves. 8k + IRQ stacks with a warning when 4k of process
stack is exceeded would seem like a reasonable first step to making 4k
a palatable default.
