Hi,

on RHEL6, I have :
 cat /etc/sysconfig/pacemaker 
# Variables for running child daemons under valgrind and/or checking for 
memory problems
#export G_SLICE=always-malloc
#export MALLOC_PERTURB_=221 # or 0
#export MALLOC_CHECK_=3     # or 0,1,2
#export HA_valgrind_enabled=yes
#export HA_valgrind_enabled=cib,crmd
#export HA_callgrind_enabled=yes
#export HA_callgrind_enabled=cib,crmd
#export VALGRIND_OPTS="--leak-check=full --trace-children=no 
--num-callers=25 --log-file=/tmp/pacemaker-%p.valgrind"

# Variables that control logging
#export PCMK_trace_functions=
#export PCMK_trace_formats=
#export PCMK_trace_files=

!!!

To the best of my knowledge, there is only LRMD_MAX_CHILDREN.
