1MB of stack is awfully small. Yes, but it's way to reproduce problem in glob quickly when we set default 10M, the problem reproduced on bigger file count. like in http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3253 yes, in 10Mb max stack size (set by default in RHEL3) glibc has fault on 654275 files that has been by use of alloca in glob function Can be possible patch glibc in RHEL3 as in RHEL4 ? RHEL3 is too old. It is it's last phase of life where only critical security patches are applied. It is extremely unlikely that any bug fix is applied at this time, especially something as risky like this. If you don't agree with this you'll have to open a support ticket with your RH contact and make a very good case. |
