[edit] I see you corrected that...
Note that you do not have to worry much about stacks space for user programs in Linux. Your threads have huge allocated virtual stack spaces (like 2MB) and the required physical pages for the stack are committed as needed. So, in effect, your stacks start at 4K (the size of one page) and grow into the size required (within reason).
