It is because wrong value in the
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-alpha/resource.h
The INIT_RLIMITS defined the RLIMIT_STACK as
{_STK_LIM, _STK_LIM}
The latter defines hard limit of the stack.
When I pointed the problem, only Intel and PPC people corrected it.
You should change the value as
{_STK_LIM, LONG_MAX}
and recompile your kernel.
It will resolve your problem.
