I've posted an update there.  I'm in the middle of a move this week and
will be a slower than usual to follow up, but would be happy to have
some further discussion of the solution.

I'd argue for a revert: the original test is valid and was changed only
to cope with an incompatibility between the RLIMIT_STACK and stack gap
implementations.  The WIP I wrote to deal with that does not require
such a change to the test.  At the moment, the test passes anyway since
the stack gap was disabled by default.
