I added a patch to libeio that make sit possible to override this:

   =head1 COMPILETIME CONFIGURATION

   These symbols must be defined when compiling F<eio.c>.

   =over 4

   =item EIO_STACKSIZE

   This symbol governs the stack size for each eio thread. Libeio itself 
   was written to use very little stackspace, but when using C<EIO_CUSTOM>
   requests, you might want to increase this.

   If this symbol is undefined (the default) then libeio will use its default 
   stack size (C<sizeof (long) * 4096> currently).  If it is defined, but
   C<0>, then the default operating system stack size will be used. In all
   other cases, the value must be an expression that evaluates to the desired
   stack size.

I didn't test it much, but it should work(tm).

Is this a viable solution?
