   My `ulimit -s` returns `8192` (I think it's Kbytes, so 8 MB) and I get general protection faults in session `guacd`s (not the parent `guacd`, though) somewhat intermittently. I set it to 65536 (for both hard and soft limit) and I still get intermittent GPFs. It's an "error:0 in libc-2.2.7.so" which could very well be a stack overflow, or it might be something else. Not sure.
   
   Would setting `ulimit -s 65536` before running `guacd` potentially fix this problem while this code is still being updated/reviewed? If so, I guess having this problem means my build either has a stack memory leak, or guacd actually needs much more than 8 MiB of stack to be stable, or `ulimit -s` isn't applying to guacd.
   
   Note: I am not using a systemd start script to launch guacd. I'm just typing `guacd` directly as root.
