I want to limit the stacksize on my server.
If I set it to 8 megs, or unlimited, python is happy.
If I set it to 4 gigabytes, things like yum (which is a python
program) crash creating a thread. This is on an x86_64 linux kernel,
RHEL5, etc etc.
Why is Python overloading the meaning of the ulimit -s like this?
There are plenty of real non-python programs with huge stack usage,
and I'd like my system default stack limit to be less than unlimited
but much larger than Python will allow.
I'm only guessing, but could it be a 32-bit limit somewhere? Have you
tried, say, 1GB, which would be within a 32-bit limit?
