Yes, I get the same results as David; also $ ulimit -a -H core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) unlimited pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size (kbytes, -s) 65532 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 1064 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited which shows (and experimentation confirms) that I can set the stack size limit to anything under 64M. There's some useful info here https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1419/_index.html which suggests that a 512K stack is what macOS defaults to for a pthread. I doubt your shell per se would have become threaded, but maybe it was launched from a thread of a multithreaded program. I wonder if you have anything unusual in your ~/.bashrc, X startup scripts, etc. regards, tom lane _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
