Trying to use reportbug I found that some libc routines may require
larger stack sizes[1]. In this particular case,
resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c wants 64k buffer for its operation and
reportbug crashes.
- ftpfs segfaults when calling gethostbyname_r. According to
Alfred that does not happen in his test program. I guess that
test program did not use the stack that much...
- Emacs hangs if it cannot find /etc/hosts to lookup `localhost'.
(I found that out when crosshurd did n
The stack should be huge in a single-threaded program, so I don't know why
Emacs has trouble. For multithreaded programs, linuxthreads and NPTL
define __libc_alloca_cutoff to grok their threads' stack limits. What we
need to do is define that in the Hurd libc as well, so that cthreads-using

Hi,
Ognyan Kulev reported a problem with the stack size of glibc. This is
