Confused...

[T. Horsnell]

Reg, by experiment, I can reproduce the 'Killed' error
if I reduce the vmemoryuse limit. Have the default
limits changed between updates?

[root at dev1 ~]# cat hello.c 
#include <stdio.h>
int i[100000000];

main()
{
fprintf(stderr,"hello\n");
while (0 == 0) {}
}
[root at dev1 ~]# limit
cputime      unlimited
filesize     unlimited
datasize     unlimited
stacksize    unlimited
coredumpsize 0 kbytes
memoryuse    unlimited
vmemoryuse   10240 kbytes
descriptors  1024 
memorylocked 32 kbytes
maxproc      12286 
[root at dev1 ~]# ./a.out
Killed

The coredumpsize limit of zero (default I think)
would also prevent coredumps

Cheers,
Terry.
