Description Mark McLoughlin 2005-05-10 10:51:37 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Fedora Core 4

So, on FC4 ORBit's IO thread has a 10M stack. For details:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-May/msg00052.html

Attaching an irc log of a conversation with some gcc/glibc/kernel developers
about what would be a reasonable size to use. 256k was the conclusion.

Also attaching a patch to change to that.

Michael: I just went and committed the patch as is rather than experimenting
with even smaller stacks. Given that its just a reduction in VSS rather than
RSS, I didn't think it was work doing any more ...

        Use a 256k stack for the IO thread rather than
        the system default (10M on FC4). bug #303649

        * src/linc.c: (link_exec_set_io_thread): Use
        a 256k stack.
