…ack pointer is about to overflow the stack. (pythonGH-141711) Only raises if the stack pointer is both below the limit *and* above the stack base. This prevents false positives for user-space threads, as the stack pointer will be outside those bounds if the stack has been swapped. (cherry picked from commit c25a070)

I am not sure it includes the Only raise an exception (or fatal error) when the stack pointer is about to overflow the stack commit, but I am happy to close this and finish the work there. |

Sure, "Only raise an exception (or fatal error) when the stack pointer is about to overflow the stack" should still be backported. But #141661 is a complex backport for the first part: backport PyUnstable_ThreadState_SetStackProtection() functions and commits preparing this backport. |

This is my naïve attempt to backport #141711 into the 3.14 branch. I needed to backport several other changes, and at this point am frankly not sure if I know what I am doing :)
Opening as a draft, nevertheless, in case someone wants to take a look.
