Package: nodejs Followup-For: Bug #1030284 X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@debian.org > My plan is to rebuild / retest reverse deps before hard freeze.
That's a good plan. Do you know whether any of those tests include cases that spin up large (as in: may consume more than 50% of a system's memory) numbers of processes/threads? Context: I've begun worrying about the additional overhead from stack preallocation -- where increasing the stack size might significantly reduce the number of processes that fit in memory while running simultaneously. > Thanks, I'll welcome any patch to start with. FWIW: I am still somewhere between 'do nothing' and 'ok, maybe, after seeing more data that it is a safe increase'. I don't trust myself enough to write any logic/syscall-related changes in a patch but may provide one that updates the constant limits in the relevant header file(s). Thorsten: if you'd like an rlimit-based approach then I think that may be upon you to write, or to request from upstream (where I accidentally impersonated you on the GitHub issue, by the way - sorry about that!).
