If a customer changes the value of stack ulimit parameter, vio_daemon process eats the whole memory and crashes. Please implement the function to restrict the stack size.

    vio_daemon issues were addressed as a defect. VIOS recommends to ISV's is that ulimit parameters not be modified. When ulimit changes are necessary, we work with the vendor on a case by case basis to ensure it doesn't have adverse effects on VIOS operation.
