umlimit and /etc/zshenv

[Thorsten Haude <zsh@thorstenhau.de>]

Hi,

I have the following line in my /etc/zshenv:
    ulimit -c 20000

1. This is a legacy from the Bash. I read zsh's manpage but couldn't
find a clear statement about what happens if neither -S nor -H are
given.

2. I get problems with this command when a process reduces the hard
limit and calls a subprocess. So I wonder whether I get the semantics
of /etc/zshenv and ulimit wrong and ulimit should in fact be in
another /etc/z* file.
Could someone explain where my error is?

tia,
Thorsten
