Hi Martin,
I haven't hit that yet but may soon so I've been wondering about it.
Possible solution:
My sgifaceserver runs as user "nobody". So, give nobody a home directory,
and a shell, and in the .cshrc (or .bashrc or whatever) add a line
"limit datasize unlimited"
(Actually datasize defaults to unlimited on my Solaris 8 system, see below.
But my sgifaceserver does occasionally crash for lack of file descriptors.)
% limit
cputime unlimited
filesize unlimited
datasize unlimited
stacksize 8192 kbytes
coredumpsize 0 kbytes
descriptors 256
memorysize unlimited
