I think I wrote the C program (it was quite a while ago) because I had been
investigating the shell "ulimit" command and it seemed to be displaying a
bogus result (31411), which I didn`t trust. As most of us now see, these
numbers just don`t look "normal" (in the computer-ish sense).
So, I wrote the C program, and got the same (bogus-looking) result as the
shell command.

Yup.

Heh heh...
