Comments
Fuzzy logic; the Process thread for waiting for Processes to die uses a 32k stack. It seems like very little stack was needed for these polling threads. Is there a way to compute how much stack is needed? The hardcoded stack sizes can be removed.

Good finding! Then it is not related to JDK-8060032. Roger: Why do we set thread stack sizes explicitly? I don't think we do that for any other "system" threads.
