Pretty much this exact one, only on PA, not on ia64. We tried to get a patch into the kernel that would prevent an app from setting the limit to above 1GB on a Linux/PA kernel. Linus NAKed it saying tha he wanted apps to set unlimited and then read back unlimited. So instead we limit how large the stack can grow (the minimum of 1GB and the hard stack size). This was similar to what Martin was trying to do ... unfortunately it seems to be buggy ;-( -- "It's not Hollywood. War is real, war is primarily not about defeat or victory, it is about death.
