Subject: [ruby-core:35700] Re: [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #4568][Open] [PATCH]	file.c (rb_group_member): kill 256K of stack usage

Lowering RUBY_STACK_MIN_LIMIT to 64KB across the board in
thread_pthread.c seems to work fine for check, test-rubyspec,
benchmark-each.

No real code, though, and I also don't know what outside C extensions
do, but 64KB is the PTHREAD_STACK_MIN for my platform (and I've always
felt it was too high).
