Re: 20020417: GDVINT in 5.6 with Solaris 8



Steve,

Seems issuing:

unlimit stacksize
unlimit descriptors

gives me:

[gempak@blizzard]#limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        unlimited
stacksize       unlimited
coredumpsize    unlimited
descriptors     1024
memorysize      unlimited


and this seemed to do the trick....i.e.  gdvint now runs.  Thanks!

Patrick
