I had posted a problem with running programs with large memory requirements.
The problem was with the stacksize...
The default is 512kb
I just set it to anything above 8192kb and my programs run.
However, i have to unlimit my stack in every shell where i run a program.
Is there any way of setting the default? (other than fiddling with my
* files; im looking for setting the system default). Do i have to recompile
the kernel or anything?
