SOE for x86_64 isn't required very mach, because this platform hasn't
limits
on stack size. The other case when this limits is set specially by
ulimit
–s
command. For this configuration test should broke VM and should be
excluded.
But for x86_64 ONLY!
On x86_32 it should works. Degradation on RHEL4 founded by Weldon
should
be
investigated.
