# This is actually really hard to test:
# A lot of files would be needed to cause a stack overflow.
# And while we could limit the maximum stack size using `ulimit -s`,
# that turns out to not be very deterministic: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/256417#discussion_r1339396686.
# Meanwhile, the test infra here is not the fastest, creating 10000 would be too slow.
# So, just using 1000 files for now.
