mysql is not accounting for the "guard page" when setting thread stack size
requests.  This is fatal on PPC systems, which may use guard pages as large
as 64K.  This patch also documents the IA64 situation a bit better.

Note: there are quite a few other setstacksize calls besides the two in
mysqld.cc; is it important to fix any of the others?
