Blocking MVar# primops not performing stack checks?

Hi all,
When an MVar# primop blocks, it jumps to a function in
HeapStackCheck.cmm which pushes a RET_SMALL stack frame before
returning to the scheduler (e.g. the takeMVar# primop jumps to
stg_block_takemvar for stack adjustment). But these functions directly
bump Sp without checking for possible stack overflow, I wonder if it
is a bug?
Cheers,
Cheng
