Stack overflow when evaluating factorial

[Sabine-Schnabeltier]

Evaluating 15000 factorial crashes TruffleSqueak with:
Resource exhausted: Stack overflow

This happens even when starting with an expanded stack:
./trufflesqueak --vm.Xss128m
./trufflesqueak --vm.Xss1024m

Verified this problem on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs and on native and JVM Intel Linux.

It seems that running factorial in the interpreter overflows the stack completely, due to its recursive nature. I tried to use different values and couldn't get it to work either. I will take another look when I have some time. Interestingly though, 15000 factorial runs fine when it is JIT-compiled. You can try this:

1500 factorial.  "evaluate in workspace and then wait a few seconds for the JIT to compile #factorial"
15000 factorial. "evaluate in workspace and it works fine"
