Default Bankroll for shortstacking?

For NLHE, the rule of thumb is that a player needs ~20 buyins to have a very low chance of going busto (assuming he is a winning player). For PLO, this may be higher, but 20 buyins seems about right.

If one follows Slotbloom's shortstack strategy (~25BB buyin, try to get most of your stack in preflop with a favorite hand), does anyone have a sense of how many minimum buyins are needed to have a low chance of going busto?
