Hmm. What problems does it cause? Mill does all of the stack setup and return address storing as part of the "call" instruction (it also handles argument passing automatically though). The stack is also 0-initialized and not necessarily anywhere near the parent's stack (I believe a stack overflow would just be a hard segfault).
