[1.] ia64 linux 2.4.16 , 2.4.19 kernels hang with user code calling 
setrlimit() and system()

[2.] A short user code can hang ia64 systems, but not ia32 linux.

[3.] setrlimit() system() hang

[4.] 2.4.16 ia64  & 2.4.19 ia64

[5.] kernel hangs, no output, system goes unresponsive for about an hour

        my_rlimit.rlim_cur= 1024 * MAX_MEM;
        my_rlimit.rlim_max= my_rlimit.rlim_cur;

        setrlimit(RLIMIT_AS, &my_rlimit);
        system("/bin/sh -c 'ulimit -a'");
}

2.4.18 and 2.4.9 on ia32 do not produce the hang from the c program above.  
Changing the values handed to setrlimit() will workaround the hang on ia64 
(a small limit will cause the system() call to silently fail, and a larger 
[10M] limit will run the system() call successfully).

Please cc:  me on responses as I'm not on the list.
