Exceeding the available stack or data space on a processor can
cause the program execution to fail. The failure takes the form
of a segmentation violation, which results in an error status of
-117. This problem can often be corrected by increasing the stack
and data space sizes. Use the following csh commands to
increase the sizes of the stack and data space (other shells require
different commands):
% limit stacksize unlimited % limit datasize unlimited
This increases the size available for the buffer to the maximum allowed by the current kernel configuration. See your system administrator to raise these limits further.
