Are stack memory changes in host reflected in the guest?

If I change the stack memory in the host (OS X) will these changes be reflected in the VM? The default stack memory in OS X 10.6.2 is 8MB. I'm running some simulations in a Ubuntu guest that requires more stack memory. If I crank it up in the host will the changes be reflected in the guest? If not, what would I have to do to get more stack memory in the guest environment?

Thanks for the help!

Ok so I increased the stack memory from 8MB to 64 MB in OS X (host) Terminal by typing;

ulimit -s hard

In Ubuntu 10.04 (the guest) I carried out the same command in Terminal and it responded with 'unlimited'.

So when I'm working in the guest OS is my stack memory unlimited or 64 MB? Does the unlimited message in the the guest mean - unlimited until you reach the host limit of 64 MB?

Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

Some users don't want to Google for every new word they see, so could you explain what you're talking about? What is this 'stack memory' you're mentioning?
