I believe the default stack size for processes is much
larger than threads, so it shouldn't be an issue.

For instance, according to this the default stack size
in OSX is 8MB, but for pthreads is only 512KB:

The change will be specific to the pthreads stuff, so
if you disable threading it won't affect anything.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a mac, but the
above document seems to support it.
