Isn't it a little bit hungry?  To do this on stack?  Softwares with a
large amount of threads might want to reduce their stack size
dramatically, and so much space might not be available.

Correct, I checked stunnel source, it reduces it to 64KB by default.
However it is possible to override it from the config file.  Raising
solves the problem indeed.

I've also tried it, leaving the default stack size chosen by stunnel.
It works.  Please go ahead and commit it if it's still possible.

Thanks.
