I do not recommend reducing the size of the searchstack. Instead, 
decrease the maximum number of threads from the default of 16 to 
something much lower. The fact that your backtrace only shows one thread 
running is probably just an artifact of the debugging environment not 
being able to get full status information after a fatal exception. This 
frequently happens if the gdb binary was compiled against a different 
version of libc headers than you're currently running under. At any 
rate, the lack of information about other threads is not a reliable 
indicator of the program's actual thread state.

The back-ldbm backend has lower memory requirements but is not 
recommended for any deployments because it has locking and stability issues.
