We do have a test that we can run a binary with very small stack size
i.e. 512kB but there does not seem to be anything that would catch this
specific problem.

Can you please open an issue and describe how to reproduce the problem
at our github tracker:

https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/issues

Then we can create testcase based on that reproducer later on.
