I believe the hard limits are not configurable by individual users (via
ulimit), but soft limits are, therefore the processes in the users current
shell are enforced by the soft limit rules. or maybe I am way off?

Subject: Re: too many stack elements
'too many stack elements' means that your user's 'stack' is too small. as
the application user run 'ulimit -s' and check if your application requires
more 'stack area' to run (too much system calls and/or program branches or
subroutines and so on. e.g., does it uses recursion?)
as a side note, fellow AIXers: what kind of limit is assumed by AIX for each
user's process: the 'hard' ones or the 'soft' ones?
just 'thinking aloud'.

Any idea what too many stack elements means?
