Re: bash core dumps doing glob pattern on long string

[Phi Debian]

Hum, may be I was over optimistic regarding alloca(), it seems it core
dumps as well :-), i.e never return NULL.

I was mentioning alloca() because I use to do my own stacksize check using
getrlimit() and getting the max stack size, and measuring the distance
between the stack_base and the recursion stack level to iner how much stack
remains, I didn't wanted to talk about that but seems it is the last
resort...

Well not a simple case to handle.
