unsufficient virtual space/stack to run the programm
Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: all
Kernel version: all
Symptom:
During the execution of a programme the error message:
unsufficient virtual space/stack to run the programm
appears.
Cause:
The maximum stack, which is fixed for all users, is set by default by
kernel. In this case it concerns the stack memory, which is
required during the execution of particular programmes e.g. through
recursive function calls, calculations, etc. The superuser has available
an unlimited stack capacity. The usual user, however, does not. You must be
satisfied with a maximum of 8192 KB.
Solution:
It is necessary to interfere in kernel to increase the stack capacity.
The maximum stack capacity is defined in the file
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h
. The variable
_STK_LIM
defines this capacity. It is set to
8*1024*1024 by default.
