Isn't the solution to this problem to just implement PyOS_CheckStack() for unix?

I assume you can implement it fairly cheaply by having the first call compute a stack warning address and subsequent calls simply checking that the stack hasn't extended below the limit yet.

It might also be needed to add a few more PyOS_CheckStack() calls here and there, but I think most of them are in place.
