It's sad that we're forced to do this to eliminate such warnings, but
I like this organization a bit better, actually.

I wasn't able to reproduce the stack size warnings in the past, so I
haven't tried to do so here and can't give Tested-by/Reviewed-by.
But I did run the tests and they all still worked for me.
