hmm, ok.

yeah, the stacksize has been railored to work for the existing code -
larger stacksizes of course require more resources (and the default on
linux might be as big as 2mb, precluding lots of threads).

I guess the only thing to be done would be to make this
compiletime-configurable in xthread.h. Obviously, I do not want to
incraese the stacksize for libeio by default.

yeah, the libeio has simply been optimised to not use much stack, so 4kb
is ok.

eek, c++!
