Q about VSZ wrt NPTL

Fri Apr 30 03:08:54 UTC 2004

I am looking for information/answer as to any rationale behind choosing the default
stacksize to be 10MB in RHEL3.0. i.e why 10. why not 1 MB or some other value ? Is it related to the processor OR the typical recursion nesting OR something else....?
thanks
Sameer

it's the default ulimit for stacksize in RHEL3, which glibc copies for thread stacks
