My guess is that this is the known bug in the crt0 code which malloc's
the stubinfo structure.  In rare instances with exactly the right code
size, it ends up at least partially in a different memory zone.  We either
need to not malloc the structure, or in the final cleanup code save the
values on the stack before freeing the memory.

The stack is set to the small value before exit since we are freeing
the stack.
