Original bug ID: 495 Reporter: administrator Status: closed Resolution: fixed Priority: normal Severity: minor Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
I've just update my CVS workspace and tried to compile OCaml. However, there
is a serious problem in the configure script. While checking whether stack
overflows can be detected, the system locks up for a while, and after some
minutes
the (Linux-2.2) kernel decides to kill processes to keep the system running.
Of course, this is mainly a well-known flaw in the Linux virtual memory manager,
but I
think a configure script should not run into such a problem.
After setting a ulimit for the stack size (ulimit -s 10000), everything
worked fine.

I guess this didn't happen to me because of a lower stack limit than yours.

Agreed.

I'll change the test code so that it puts a low limit on the stack
before attempting to overflow it :-)

Hello,
I've just update my CVS workspace and tried to compile OCaml. However, there
is a serious problem in the configure script. While checking whether stack
overflows can be detected, the system locks up for a while, and after some
