Re: possible duplicate

Replying to myself, because, of course, stating the problem uncovered
the solution

quoth Lang Martin:

> Linux 2.4.26-grsec-2.0

grsec: From [...]: attempted resource overstep by requesting 4096 for RLIMIT_CORE against limit 0 by /coptix/web/fnord-1.8/bin/fnord[fnord:2214] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0, parent /coptix/net/ucspi-tcp-0.88/bin/tcpserver[tcpserver:14254] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

And here 'tis -- grsec is causing the limit request to fail, which is
evidently being done when fnord forks to run the cgi. strace does its
own limit setting, and voila, there it is. Let me know if there are
any additional thoughts, but this should provide the solution -- I'm
going to try setting the limits to good values first, and then just
run w/out grsec, if that fails.
