That is what I do now. I was wondering if there was a programmatic or
more elegant way...
The way that has been suggested would be roughly
a=getrlimit; //save current setting
ulimit // do what I want
setrlimit=a // restore setting
?
Thanks,

Come to think of it, it'd probably just be easier to run ulimit before
you run the C program.
