--- Comment #1 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
Presumably this is because you asked limits to execute with a stack size of=
 0?
Looking at kern_proc_setrlimit(), a request to decrease the current stack l=
imit
will cause the kernel to render inaccessible any pages beyond the new limit=
, so
with a new size of 0 we'll crash upon returning from setrlimit(). (It also
looks as though kern_proc_setrlimit() assumes that stacks grow down.)
