:Currently, the threads library only creates one guard page
:at the top (or bottom depending on how you look at it) of
:each threads stack (for stacks of default size). Thread
:stacks are allocated in sequential zones, so they are always
:placed on top of the previous threads stack, and thus already
:have a guard page below the stack.

:Correct me if I'm wrong, but using MAP_STACK|MAP_GUARDED

:stack.

:DanE.
Correct. At the moment MAP_GUARDED is a 'generic' guarding flag
and makes no assumptions about the areas being adjoining. It doesn't
cost us anything.
