    This needs 3rd companion patch which does stack reduction even on i386.
    Patch which removes excessive loop unrolling and thus fixes the problem
    has been posted. Maybe there is some other way to maintain low stack
    space on i386 but I haven't found it.

    If you apply only 2, original bug will be fixed, but on at least i386
    stack usage could go in 900-byte region.
