--- Comment #2 from Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@???> ---
Apologies; I didn't meant checkspecial being somehow related with --bigstack,
but the fact that the -S option (with the same magical value of 1) is also used
there to decide if the architecture supports setting the stack.
NetBSD takes a more strict view[1] of the relevant standards and allows
changing the stack size of the running process with that call (to take effect
immediately) and unlike what is done in other platforms which I presume expect
the only user of this call to be the shell through the [u]limit intrinsic.
if the whole objective of it was to avoid the SEGFAULT triggered by extending
the stack over the soft limit then running instead the following in the script
might be better:
ulimit -Ss $(ulimit -Hs)
