Hmm, I should have posted this to a C mailing list, as it's extremely off topic for Django.
I'll move this discussion to a different list.. but here's what I've found so far (for anyone interested). Within C code, setting 'rlim_max' allows you to set a floor limit for a process (http://linux.die.net/man/2/setrlimit). However, I am yet to find out if this limit is inherited after spawning/forking.
