Based on what I've learned about this bug, I believe that architecture-specific
behaviour related to stack sizes is inherent in the V8 library vendored by
upstream NodeJS.

Improvements may be possible and we can continue to track and assist towards
those, however there are likely to be runtime differences that remain for a
long time.  Individual codebases such as the affected 'src:dygraphs' package
can also be improved to reduce the likelihood of call stack size overflow.

Given those, and the absence of any sense that this is a regression, I think we
should lower the priority of this bug to below release-critical.
