Partially Fixes #3044
Proposed Changes
This patch adapts the compile time constant for the stack overhead for gcc 4.9.
This unbreaks the thread_stacksize test.
Any background context you want to provide?
HPX tasks are suspect to stack overflows. Currently, the thread_stacksize test fails with a segfault. It is trying to touch all bytes in the stack. It relies on the
HPX_THREADS_STACK_OVERHEAD
define to have a sensible value. This value was to small for gcc 4.9.
