This is strange (read: archaic) because GHC since 7.10 (or maybe 
earlier) has been defaulting stack size to "80% physical memory size" 
rather than 8MB. Contrapositively, seeing the 8MB cap implies that your 
copy of happy was built by a pretty old GHC.

So simply rebuild happy by a recent GHC to enjoy the modern stack cap.
