} It is how much memory is allocated to the system stack that matters,
} not the overall memory limit. There is a command for changing the
} default; I thought it was "ulimit" but I can't seem to find a
} specification just at the moment, and I have to go now.
The ulimit documentation is in the "bash" manpage. The syntax to set
the stack size is
ulimit -s <size>
For csh-based shells, it's
limit stacksize <size>
You'll probably want to look at the shell man pages more closely,
though, to make sure you're setting the right limit for your needs
(soft vs hard).
