Works fine when using GNU bash "ulimit -s 1024". Blows up using tcsh
"limit stack 1024" with IOT trap, blows up using csh "limit stack
1024" with Abort trap. "/bin/sh" "ulimit -a" produces nonsense "qd"
values:
$ ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) qd
stack(kbytes) qd
coredump(blocks) unlimited
memory(kbytes) qd
locked memory(kbytes) qd
process(processes) qd
nofiles(descriptors) qd
$
Which smells like "[f|s]printf(..., "%qd", ...)" bug.
Have fun doing all the work to duplicate what was done in GNU bash
correctly already, boys. I'm not going to send-pr anything on this in
protest to anti-GPL, anti-FSF sentiments. Yes, I using without
contributing but so are you.
