Comment (by thoughtpolice):

 Merged in `d85044f6b201eae0a9e453b89c0433608e0778f0` with some minor
 tweaks. Notably, when `allocateFail(...) == NULL` when allocating
 `new_stack`, we call `stackOverflow(tso)` and then `stg_exit`, instead of
 `throwToSingleThreaded`. This is more in line with what `allocate` will
 now do.

 Thanks to Ben and Reid Barton for helping with this and spotting that
 error!
