[Queue-developers] re: bug queue 1.20.1 on solaris 2.5.1

[Eric D. <eri...@co...>]

I found the problem when running 1.20.1 on Solaris.
I don't know the proper fix, but commenting out lines 2860-2864
in queued.c takes care of the problems that I was seeing:

/* ------ EJD this breaks Solaris
  for( i=0; i<RLIM_NLIMITS; i++ ){
    register struct rlimit *rlp = &(qp->q_rlimit[i]);
    if( rlp->rlim_cur >= 0 && rlp->rlim_max >= 0 )
      (void) setrlimit( itorl(i), rlp );
  }
