Yep, that's got it, thanks!

Incidentally, I ran the test from the Stack Overflow post on a nearly-untouched \
CentOS 7 VM over the weekend, and it required only tens of kiB of stack to launch a \
do-nothing shell.

I also tested it on a macOS Sierra system, and it required even less, something like \
16 kiB as I recall.

So, something about this particular CentOS 7 system is odd, but I don't know what \
makes it require so much stack to do something so basic.  One of the guesses in the \
SO comments is a large environment, but it's "only" 2.4 kB.  

(Back when I was a boy, you could get the whole environment onto a VT102 screen!)
