1421	increase_rlimits() tries to set RLIMIT_CORE high, which grsec disallows	zooko	somebody	"Originally reported in #982 by ioerror:

 Grsec disallows a resource overstep when tahoe requests 4196256 for {{{RLIMIT_CORE}}}. 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
