There already is such an option.  e.g. "ilrun --stack-size 32" will set the 
limit to 32k instead.

Feel free to make a suggestion as to what the default should be.

We need to investigate growable stacks, of course, but the command-line option 
above should get you over the current hurdle.  "ilrun --help" will give you 
some other options that can be tweaked.
