Hello,

FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 #3

$top

  PID USERNAME  THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND

kern.dfldsiz="1073741824"

$limits
Resource limits (current):

  datasize          1048576 kB
  stacksize          131072 kB

How and why is it possible for process to grow up to 1493M and even
more? I suppose, it will be able to eat all available system memory (was
killed).

Thank you for answers.
