This is exactly as the man page describes. You are setting the hard limit too, and you forgot to use the -S option. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Description of problem: In the specified bash, on 7.3: 1) ulimit -s 65536 2) ulimit -s 32768 3) ulimit -s 65536 The attempt to re-raise the stacksize fails with the following error: bash: ulimit: cannot modify stack size limit: Operation not permitted This does not occur when running bash as root, nor when using tcsh instead of bash. This can be triggered by lowering the stacksize to *any* value lower than the initial value set; for example, if step 2 above used 65535, rather than 32768, the error would still occur. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash-2.05a-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above description. Actual Results: Unable to raise stacksize ulimit again, until new shell started. Expected Results: As in tcsh, one should be able to raise and lower the stacksize ulimit within the range permitted by the soft and hard system limits (whether architectural, or set by the administrator).
