This means for each fiber, you allocate e.g. 1 MiB virtual memory as a stack and let page faults allocate them from RAM on demand, right?

Exactly. Currently the stack size is set to only 64k to get a good trade-off on 32-bit systems, but I've been thinking about using a version(D_LP64) to increase this default for 64-bit.
