Hi all,
I've repeatedly run into the situation where the default stacksize
ulimit is too small. Usually, this happens when I use Sun's 1.4 JDK.
While root can obviously increase the stacksize and work around the
problem, I'm unable to set the ulimit for all users.
Therefore, I had to recompile a new kernel with 'options
DFLSSIZ=3D33554432' and install this new kernel on all of my machines,
requiring a reboot just to bump the stacksize ulimit!
On i386, DFLSSIZ is defined to be (2*1024*1024). Would it be
possible/reasonable to increase this default value?

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
