MacOS X: Boost default stack size
The default stack size on MacOS X for the SMP emulator is too small to support all uses of pcre. For example, the following expression N = 819, re:compile([lists:duplicate(N, $(), lists:duplicate(N, $))]). will cause a stack overflow. By bisection of different values for the +sss option, I found that 166 is the smallest value that avoids the crash. Round that up to 256 to give a nice, round power of 2 and a resonable safety margin. Use that value as a default stack size on MacOS X only.
