[openvrml-develop] 64MB limit

[Damian M. <da...@er...>]

I have a large VRML file that I am trying to display with GTKLOOKAT.  It
core dumps before it seriously displays anything.  It reads the files OK.
However, I suspects some system setting as it dumps a core file of size

	67186688 Nov 25 15:40 core

This factors to 65536 * ( 65536 + 76 ) which is too close to 64MB and too
neat for my liking.  I am quite happy to send the ( 13MB uuencoded ) file
to somebody else if you want to try it.

On a Windows Box with Blaxxun, the model needs about 90MB.  I have also
tried this VRML file on at least one other PC VRML browser. This is a
multi-file model with lots of external images and was created using
Alias|Wavefront Maya 2.5.

On a Mandrake 7.2 LINUX machine with

$ limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        unlimited
stacksize       8MB
coredumpsize    97MB
memoryuse       unlimited
maxproc         2048
descriptors     1024
memorylocked    unlimited
addressspace    unlimited

The program dumps core where a 'where' in gdb with OpenVRML 0.11.2 and
GTKlookat 0.9.1 compiles with '-g',  shows up

	#0  0x405b6f7a in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6
	#1  0x405b6d3e in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6
	#2  0x404c4a78 in gluTessVertex () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1

Any ideas.

Is it just some system setting?
