Statck Size

[Srinivasan S_1]

On executing ulimit -a in the HP-UX , we have following output,

stack(kbytes) 8192
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 2048


The limit for stack is very low. Can this cause the memory leakage due to stack overflow? Can anyone share how the limit on the stack resource can affect the CPU usage.
