Try "limit stacksize 8192".  The argument to the stacksize argument to
limit is in kilobytes.  If that doesn't work set it even higher.  But, be
very careful that you don't do "unlimit stacksize".  This will cause any
process that you spawn from that shell to fail with problems in the
dynamically linking loader.
