Hmmm.

If I have
options         MAXSSIZ="(64*1024*1024)"

my stack size as reported by limit in tcsh is 64MB

If I have
options         MAXSSIZ="(128*1024*1024)"

then my stack size as reported by limit Is 128MB.

How could MAXMEM="(4096*1024)" be right?

The machine sees 4096MB OK, it is just that each process is limited to
512MB.
