Summary:
There's an knock-on fix in HeapStackCheck.c which is potentially
scary, but I'm pretty confident is OK.  See comment for details.

Test Plan:
I've run all the STM
tests I can find, including libraries/stm/tests/stm049 with +RTS -N8
and some of the constants bumped to make it more of a stress test.
