If this is a 64-bit process, you need to check maxssiz_64bit as well.

What values do you have for

maxssiz and maxssiz_64bit ?

Are you running HPUX 10.20 by any chance?

Both maxssiz and maxssziz_64 bit were 8MB and changed them to 16MB.But still the problem is not solved.Pls let me know what else can be done.

The exact error is:

PID 6353 received a SIGSEGV for the stack growth failure
possible cause insufficient memory or swap space
or stack size exceeded maxssiz.
