Thanks for the hint, Robert!

I am not sure I understand what this bug is about. Unfortunately, google can't
find the commit mentioned in the bug.

AFAIU, it is supposed to pass --dynamic-space-size and --control-stack-size
to the saced image. Bug reporter (Zach?) seems to expect that the options
would be passed verbatim. As far as I am concirned, passing the _effects_
of the options is all I am expecting from it.

Maybe :save-runtime-options has been given a bad name? After all, it seems to
save only the effects of those two options and completely ignores all the
other runtime-options.
