Hello,

i have a question the installation-list could not solve.thus i try my luck 
here...

I have a script (php-cli) which results in segfault. If i increase stack 
size by...
ulimit -s unlimited
...the script is running and shows correct memory-limit error message.

My system's stack size default is 8192 kb
What to do if i want to avoid this segfault but not increasing stack size to 
unlimited because there may be other consequences?
What is the recommended way to solve this?

Thanks,
Hajo
