void detectStackOverflow();
/* Pluggable behavior to run before _exit(1) in case of a stack overflow.
Default value: do nothing, return immediately.
This is called by the handler installed by detectStackOverflow().
This gives Nix library consumers a limit opportunity to report the error
condition.
NOTE: Use with diligence, because this runs in the signal handler, with very
limited stack space and a potentially a corrupted heap, all while the failed
thread is blocked indefinitely. All functions called must be reentrant. */

/* The default, robust implementation of stackOverflowHandler.
Prints an error message directly to stderr using a syscall instead of the
logger. Exits the process immediately after. */
