Maximum process stack size

[Oliver Laumann]

Is there a way for a program to determine the maximum stack size of a
process on systems that don't support getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK), such
as POSIX-, SVID-, or X/Open-systems?  ulimit(2) doesn't seem to have this
functionality.  If you don't know the general answer-- do you know if
and how this can be done under HP-UX?

If this functionality doesn't exist, does this mean the stack of a process
can grow indefinitely?

Thanks,
