I am putting to use an ancient box. Pentium 66.
It gives me stack overflow errors on 2.6.9-rc2:

To save you filtering out functions with less than 100
bytes of stack:

udp_sendmsg+0x35e/0x61a [220]
sock_sendmsg+0x88/0xa3 [208]
__nfs_revalidate_inode+0xc7/0x308 [152]
nfs_lookup_revalidate+0x257/0x4ed [312]
load_elf_binary+0xc4f/0xcc8 [268]
load_script+0x1ea/0x220 [136]
do_execve+0x153/0x1b9 [336]

do_execve() can be trivially fixed to allocate bprm (328 bytes) instead
putting it on the stack.  Given the frequency of exec and the odd size
it should probably be in its own slab (and fix the goofy prototype
indenting while you're there too ;-).

load_elf_binary() on the other hand is a big mess, 132 bytes of int/long
variables.

268 bytes according to checkstack.
