To get tahoe started, you'll need to add the following to the init.d script: {{{ ulimit -c 4196256 }}} But, when I read [source:trunk/src/allmydata/util/iputil.py?annotate=blame&rev=4971#L12 the source code of increase_rlimits()] I don't see any evidence that we deliberately set {{{RLIMIT_CORE}}}. (We certainly never intended to.) So, is it that calling {{{resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE)}}} is also setting {{{RLIMIT_CORE}}}? Perhaps this is a bug in the Python standard library. Could someone with grsecurity installed please reproduce this issue and show the complete error message?" enhancement closed minor undecided code 1.8.2 invalid grsec
