I will have to do a lengthy pkg_rolling-replace to get now to a
working ff8. As I said, opera works for me, so it hasn't been a
priority lately.

There was a recent thread about the same which lead to a weird
conclusion - it worked for ulimit -s set to 8191 and stopped for any
value above that... Anyway, ulimit -s on the amd64 system I tried it
on was 4096, so it was expected to work (modulo the version it was
tested on, which might have been some released 5.x ).
