[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Nomyx 0.1 beta, the game where you can change the rules

[Corentin Dupont]

Hi all,
it's still crashing once a day with:
CPU time limit exceeded (core dumped)

ulimit -t gives unlimited.
in /etc/security/limits.conf their is nothing.
I'm not setting time limits in the software.
Any ideas?
