core dump file size exceeds limit with ulimit -f unlimited.

[Anuz Pratap Singh Tomar <chambilkethakur@xxxxxxxxx>]

HI all,
I have asked same question on irc and couldn't find an answer: I hope this posting is not considered cross posting.

for ulimit -c 10 -f 10, the core dump size is 10240, but for ulimit -c 10 -f unlimited core dump file size is 12288. This seems to be incorrect behavior, has anyone seen such problem? this problem was discussed at few places, but i couldn't find anything specific on this problem?

Regards
Anuz
