I've been seeing the same symptoms (firefox-52 crashes with various out
of memory errors after a few minutes).

What is the most useful way to help debug this? Tweaking staff's
stacksize-cur upwards, or some other value?

I did some limited experiments tonight, but I'm afraid I started too

But I can try again tomorrow afternoon CET (possibly with new snapshot
and packages).

All the best,
