This depends on your shell.  csh(1) has 'limit' command, sh(1) has
'ulimit'.  E.g.  here are sample commands for bash:

<uwe@krups:~> (1032) ulimit -S -s		# soft limit on stack size
512
<uwe@krups:~> (1033) ulimit -H -s		# hard limit
262144
<uwe@krups:~> (1034) ulimit -s 8192		# set soft limit
<uwe@krups:~> (1035) ulimit -s			# verify (-S is default)
8192

See your shell's manual for details on its limit/ulimit command.
See getrlimit(2) for further details.

SY, Uwe
