 Well, somewhere they must be doing a large stack allocation. I have a script
 that finds large allocations on the i386; you could adjust it for other archs:
 
 #!/bin/sh
 objdump --prefix-addresses --disassemble $1 | awk '
 /.*sub.*,%esp/ {
         addr = $1;
         fun = substr($2, 2, length($2) - 2);
         split(substr($4, 2), a, ",");
         stack = sprintf("%d", a[1]);
         printf("%d %s:%s\n", stack, addr, fun);
 }' | sort -n
 
 You can use it on the executable or the shared libraries (as long as they
 are not stripped to find the guilty party).
