Then don't fiddle with the hard limit of the system. You don't really
want to, anyway. Set the soft limit and things will work as expected and
without you needing to be superuser. Mailer Code(tm):
/*
* Setup system limits, such as coredumpsize on UNIX.
* 0 on success, -1 on error.
*/
int system_limits(void)
{
struct rlimit rl;
if (getrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &rl) == -1) {
perror("get(RLIMIT_CORE)");
return (-1);
}
rl.rlim_cur = rl.rlim_max;
if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &rl) == -1) {
perror("set(RLIMIT_CORE)");
return (-1);
}
return (0);
}
This sets the soft limit for the process to the hard limit for the
process.
