+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #476443 +++ There are reports (lacking data) that our current exception handling strategy, which uses setjmp + longjmp, may use a lot of stack space. We should investigate the amount of stack space used and determine if it's worth doing something about it.

The main culprit I've seen in ad-hoc testing is a jmpbuf that is much larger than we need it to be. iirc, on powerpc, it includes space for the altivec registers and i dont see why since they are scratch registers.
