If you read the description of that setting, you will notice that it
recommends leaving a safety margin of at least one megabyte between the
kernel ulimit setting and the max_stack_depth value.  You have left a
safety margin of zero.  A crash is unsurprising.

More recent versions of Postgres are able to check whether
max_stack_depth has a safe value relative to ulimit -s, but 8.0 just
believes whatever you tell it.

BTW, are you *really* using 8.0.0?  If so please update.  The current
bugfix release in that series is 8.0.22.
