My solutions
Sorry, I managed to resolve the issues myself: 1) the correct option thing is: options MAXSSIZ=(size) --actually in my handwritten notes I didn't have the "E". 2) Also, I forgot this: make buildkernel KERNCONF=KERNELNAME make installkerner KERNCONF=KERNELNAME > Are you sure you need bigger stacks? If a task is using that much > stack space on a 32-bit architecture, the program involved probably > needs to be redesigned anyway... It's crystallography software (ccp4) originally designed for the SGIs and then ported to Linux/Windows/MacOSX. It requires really huge stack spaces, sometimes, at least. Anyways, it crashes when FreeBSD mysteriously terminates the program with a segmentation fault. I'm just trying to cover all my bases on the way to getting it to work. Could just be that I need more memory on my computer, period.

A tinderbox is a server dedicated to compiling (or "burning") the latest edition of software into binaries, usually for an operating system.

stack size limits
I'm trying to adjust the stack size limit on my computer. I'm not exactly sure what to do. Here's what I've tried: ulimit -s (size)in bash unlimit stacksize unlimited in csh options MAXSSIZE=(size) in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/KERNELNAME; make buildkernel make installkernel stacksize=infinity in /etc/login.conf; cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf kern.stacksize=(size) in /etc/sysctl.conf but despite all these efforts, doing ulimit -a still seems to show the default 64M limit. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should have done/should do to increase the size users are allowed to have?
