print: ulimit -s (or just ulimit -a). This is in kilobytes.

Change: e.g. ulimit -s 16384 to set it to 16MB.

Note that there is a soft and a hard limit, and you cannot increase the
soft limit (which is the effective one) beyond the hard limit. Print
the hard limit with "ulimit -H -s". Root can also increase the hard
limit, however there's sometimes a per-architecture kernel limit.
