-/* There is an obscure bug in the kernel due to which RLIMIT_STACK is sometimes
- returned as unlimited when it is not, which may cause this test to fail.
- There is also the other case where RLIMIT_STACK is intentionally set as
- unlimited or very high, which may result in a vma that is too large and again
- results in a test case failure. To avoid these problems, we cap the stack
- size to one less than 8M. See the following mailing list threads for more
- information about this problem:
