Pid xxx received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.

[Pål Torp]

Hi.
I got a strange message on the display after installing CA-unicenter 2.4 and tuning the paramters:

Pid 582 received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
or stack size exceeded maxssiz.

This message occurs at login and when I start SAM.

This is a K570 running HPUX 11.i.
My memory is 2.3 GB

This is a printout of my /stand/system:

Hi,
Looks like your process tried to grab more memory than the kernel allows.
Increasing the kernel parameter maxssiz should fix it.

[Deepak Extross]

This error has been popping up on this forum fairly regularly.
See http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xe9e99200caded5118ff40090279cd0f9,00.html

Preferably, run a search on the forum before starting a new thread.

[Pål Torp]

Well, thanx but the max size if this parameter equals 401604608 = 0x17F00000

I have also set the maxssiz_64bit to max whithout any luck.

Hi,

I havecollected some information on you problem

1. The man page of signal says
----------------------------------------------
SIGSEGV ii Invalid memory reference
----------------------------------------------

2. In our system we have the following settings for maxdsize

Parameter: maxdsiz
Value: 0XC0000000
Default: 0x04000000
Minimum: -
Module: -

try checking

#kmtune -l |more

read the attached document for more details
