OK, so I should have typed ulimit -a

That tells me data is limited to 130MB or so.

Only thing is that even as root if I type ulimit -d 262144 it doesn;t
change anything. Even if I put a -H in there.

Also as root or as an ordinary user if I type ulimit -c 1000 then ulimit
-a still show core dumps are unlimited.

Thanks for the tips so far!
