Re: Setting RLIMIT_STACK

It was added a number of years ago by Paul Eggert, because make makes extensive use of alloca() and some larger, more complex makefiles might run into problems. Probably there should be an effort to switch to heap for anything that might get large and reserve alloca() usage just for things we know for a fact will not get too large, but that hasn't been done. -- --- Paul D.
