The minimum required stack size strongly depends on the modules
used, but any change in the web server configuration can invalidate
the current <directive>ThreadStackSize</directive> setting.</li>

+ <li>On Linux, this directive can only be used to increase the default
+ stack size, as the underlying system call uses the value as a
+ <em>minimum</em> stack size. The (often large) soft limit for
+ <code>ulimit -s</code> (8MB if unlimited) is used as the default stack
+ size.</li>
