2.4.21:
./include/linux/sched.h:
/*
* Limit the stack by to some sane default: root can always
* increase this limit if needed.. 8MB seems reasonable.
*/
#define _STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)
a way to address:
man 3 ulimit
man bash
and in there:
/ ulimit
btw, I would consider allocating 8 mega bytes on the stack not very good
programming style....
wbr,
