>Description:
RLIMIT_AS is defined by the opengroup and found in /usr/include/sys/resource.h.
For illustrative purposes, I've pasted in the paragraph from the opengroup's
webpage:
RLIMIT_AS
This is the maximum size of a process' total available memory, in bytes. If
this limit is exceeded, the malloc() and mmap() functions shall fail with errno
set to [ENOMEM]. In addition, the automatic stack growth fails with the effects
outlined above.
BTW: I've no idea if the call actually works according to the above
specification. For the purposes of this bug report, I'll assume it is and that
the documentation has a minor omission.
