stack size rlimit

[suresh gumpula]

Yes, we may not really need this big stack space for a process.  I am just
experimenting RLIMIT_INFINITY on BSD and linux.  On BSD  we are limiting to
kern.maxssiz it seems.
And the address map layout which described in the design book , is not what
we are doing as you said.

Thank you!
