That's the default, yes, but when you're configuring a system for a use case, you can change it. And that was exactly what I saw done - the system was a "big " system for its era, with 256 MiB RAM, and the rlimit increased to 256 MiB so that actually hitting stack overflow meant you were swapping anyway.

It was also surprisingly portable - at the time (1990s), most system administrators would obey the instruction to increase rlimits to match the software the system was bought to run. Nowadays, I expect most sysadmins would be a lot more cautious about obeying that sort of demand.
