you can't do that (and sometimes the stack is 4kb not 8kb). There are
many assumptions all over the kernel that the kernel stack is the same
size for all threads. Just look at how the kernel gets "current" to see
why (and current is used from interrupt context as well!)

you will need to fix your code to not need as much stack..
Do you have an url to your code, maybe there are simple things we can
recommend in this regard...
