But in the former case, does the debuggee also inherit the debugger's
_stklen?  What I am trying to ask is:  Is _stklen always, universally, 100%
guaranteed to contain the actual size of the runtime stack in every v2
program?  If not, then it can't be reliably used to determine how much
stack is left.
