I tried to run ulimit -s to make the satck bigger but I get the
following problem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/cygdrive/c/WINDK/home>ulimit -s
bash: ulimit: illegal option: -s
ulimit: usage: ulimit [-SHacdflmnpstuv] [limit]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help?

Thanks,
Cesare
