Hi,
i have 2 systems with Solaris 11.1 (SPARC T4) running Oracle RAC and Oracle Database in several zones, which have a huge amount of entries in the syslog like these one:

Jun 17 03:30:00 ausdbora01 genunix: [ID 971582 kern.notice] basic rctl process.max-stack-size (value 33554432) exceeded by process 20580.
Jun 17 03:30:01 ausdbora01 genunix: [ID 683593 kern.notice] privileged rctl process.max-stack-size (value 9223372036854775807) exceeded by process 26372.
Jun 17 03:30:33 ausdbora01 genunix: [ID 307684 kern.notice] privileged rctl process.max-stack-size (value 9223372036854775807) exceeded by process 28316.

The messages are generated every few minutes and the processes are either hitting a limit of32MB or 8 EB of stack!
The log message does not give any information on what processes are hitting the limit. I have enabled generation of core files, but no cores are written for these processes. I have checked these settings to be ok with a test kill -6 for all relevant user (root, oracle, grid), cores are generated if i try manually.

Howdy, Stranger!
