In fact, it looks like the ulimit solution isn't to increase any limit, 
but rather to *reduce* the "hard" stack size limit so that a bit of 
stack size management logic in rustc spawns a new thread instead of 
plowing ahead in the main thread and crashing. See 
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51838#issuecomment-430804450

I no longer have a suitable test machine for the systems where this is 
apparently a problem (El Cap and Sierra, it seems) so I can't really 
submit a fix.
