Comment (by bgamari):

 Thanks for the review and good catch regarding the unit issue. I suppose
 this is what I get for trying to finish a patch on the bus.

 I've pushed a new set of patches. I was regarding #8289 as a separate
 issue and was waiting for a fix outside the tree but it's now fixed in
 this set.

 I agree that the arbitrary 80% stack limit isn't great but also fail to
 see any better options.
