[Wien] Mac OSx - setrlimit(): Invalid argument

Dear All, Peter

W2kutils.c at the moment (15.5.2013) contains the line:

limit.rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY; /* rlimit.rlim_max */

on Mac OS this leads to a crash as there is a hard-limit on the stack  
size, is there a reason not to make the standard code:

limit.rlim_cur = limit.rlim_max;

(note I removed the r in-front of limit)

Would this not on a Linux system set the stack size to infinite and on  
a Mac to 65532?

Best regards,
Maurits
