Re: Increasing stacksize on Mac OSX

%> ulimit -s

I think that the max stacksize for the MAC is 65532.
I don't think that there is an unlimited stacksize
like on many linux systems.

WHat is the available memory on your MAC? Does
your script require more memory then is available?

I haven't been able to find a way to increase the stacksize to unlimited, or even anything larger than that. An NCL script that I have runs just fine on Linux systems, but when I run it on my new Mac, I get errors like this one:
