Sorry,

Doesn’t look very deep (the stack frame)

3 frames down is a stack frame at address 00000000000001, this seems like a
suspect address for a function.
The stack frame doesn’t appear to repeat any function calls (no repeated
addresses, so I don’t think infinite recursion). I also tried to increase the
stack size of the executable to 64MB using editbin /STACK:64000000 ld.exe
(which is insanely large). This didn’t change the issue.

Sorry - I missed this comment.

So this would probably explain what is going wrong.  Of course it then begs
the question of why the stack exhaustion is occurring.  Do you have a limited
amount of stack space available to applications on your build machine ?

In the MSVC debugger, are you able to determine what the stack backtrace looks
like when it runs out of space ?  (I am wondering if there is a bug leading to
infinite recursion).  Or maybe there is a function in the linker which
allocates memory on the stack, and it is asking for a huge amount of memory...

Cheers
  Nick
