Yeah, I'm seeing something similar, also with ulimit -s = 8192 kbytes:
(gdb) i reg
...
rbp 0xb0a324 0xb0a324
rsp 0x7ffd07ce4fd0 0x7ffd07ce4fd0
...
(gdb) x/64 0x7ffd07ce4fd0
0x7ffd07ce4fd0: Cannot access memory at address 0x7ffd07ce4fd0
So it's definitely out-of-stack, yet
(gdb) p stack_base_ptr
$3 = 0x7ffd07dbf570 "\b"
(gdb) p 0x7ffd07dbf570 - 0x7ffd07ce4fd0
$4 = 894368
I'd have expected a diff in the vicinity of 8MB, but it isn't.
I think what must be happening is that the kernel is refusing
to expand our stack any more once we've hit the "ulimit -v" limit.
This is quite nasty, because it breaks all our assumptions about
having X amount of stack still available once check_stack_depth
triggers.
I tried inserting check_stack_depth() into MemoryContextStatsInternal,
and *that did not stop the crash*, confirming that we don't think
we're anywhere near the stack limit. Ugh.
