+    is the "normal stack", so double the request to make sure we have the
+    caller-expected amount of normal stack.
+
+    NOTE: there is no guarantee that the register stack can't grow faster
+    than normal stack, so it's very unclear that we won't dump core due to
+    stack overrun despite check_stack_overrun's efforts.  Experimentation
+    shows that in the execution_constants test, the register stack grows
+    less than half as fast as normal stack, but perhaps other scenarios are
+    less forgiving.  If it turns out that more space is needed for the
+    register stack, that could be forced (rather inefficiently) by using a
