Yes, but they don't work for the stack size parameters.

The stack limit determines the area of virtual memory reserved for
the stack; Solaris maps the lshared libraries directly under it, so
it is *impossible* to grow the stack limit for the current process.

The thread stacks are mapped at thread started; they are
not governed by any stack resource limits .
