yes there is a limit, look at

getrlimit show the size as 4GiGs of RLIMIT_DATA on a 32-bit. which
means that its unlimited?

I mean 4Gigs of RLIMIT_DATA is both the rlim_cur and rlim_max.
i have a data section of size 213K, i am thinking that i should not be
growing the data section size.

yes try the c function setrlimit, thats what I meant by looking at man page.

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>

int getrlimit(int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);
int setrlimit(int resource, const struct rlimit *rlim);

I have went through google and didn't found any article that says
about the maximum data section a process can use.
