default stack size for threads changed

With current, 2.6.33-rc6, linux the default stack size changed from unlimited
to 8MB:
# > ulimit -s
8192

This makes NPTL allocate a 8MB stack for each thread that is created.
This breaks in our embedded system. Although this
can be fixed in our app I wonder if this is intentional?
