Use the "limit" or "ulimit" command to see your system's settings.

Datasize is often unlimited, so it's only limited by the amount of virtual
memory configured.  On my Solaris 2.6 system, stacksize is 8MB, with a hard
limit of 2GB; only deeply recursive applications are likely to need
enormous amounts of stack space, so this is rarely an issue.

Coresize usually defaults to unlimited.  You reduce it if you have a disk
space problem in named's directory.  Or if you don't plan on doing anything
with core dumps, you could set it to 0.
