There isn't, and I don't think it's possible because there is no reasonably portable way to recover from a stack overflow in C++. thanks for clarifying.
But I don't even want to recover; a hard-and-fast crash is better than running over whatever happens to be below the VmThread stack. Well, something to mull over.
