Hello Wietse, Strictly speaking, I'm not sure one could validly file a bug report in this case: - setrlimit() is described as being part of the XSI extension, - Apple indeed claims conformance to POSIX 1003.1, but not to the XSI extension - moreover, Apple's man page for setrlimit() doesn't refer to any standard - and anyway, the standard describes what should happen after a successful call to setrlimit(), but remains silent about the case of an unsuccessful call. But this is just my poor understanding of such matters... ;-) Axel
