I just tested: m4-1.4.17-1 (which uses the 16k alt-stack, compared to
1.4.17-2 using 64k) coupled with the test cygwin 2.2.0-0.1 is once again
able to make use of libsigsegv-2.10-2.  And if I recompile m4 against
cygwin 2.2.0-0.1 headers, I end up with a 32k stack which also works.

That means that so far, I have not found any problems with your new
smaller stack sizing requirements.
