AFAIK, both heap and stack can grow unlimited, as long as there is enough free space in the user space address space (which is 3 GiB in x86 32 bit). Please note that virtual memory fragmentation in the user space address space could also affect this. The more fragmented, the more likely you will hit "no more free space" -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
