I think it bites a lot less often than it otherwise would because most people will deliberately chose to use heap in preference to stack (at least when writing "eager" code) just to avoid the problem. But it still bites pretty often anyway with "lazy" code for unexpected reasons. Arguably such situations are indeed a "bug" more often than not, but I still think terminating the program unnecessarily (at 8M stack) is bad default policy.
Please, after all this, do give an example. Luke
