Yes, MSYS2/Cygwin will switch to its own stack and deallocate the old one.
This patch alone is not sufficient because there are still a couple of other
references to the old stack (like the debug_info struct in start_thread).

If preferred, this issue can also be solved differently by calculting exit_frame
dynamically based on StackBase (after a couple of other bugs are fixed).
Disadvantage is that if applications mess around with StackBase, I'm not sure if
we should trust that the new stack is set up properly.
