[Valgrind-users] Using setrlimit within memcheck

[Scott K. <ku...@pv...>]

Hi,
 
While running a program within the memcheck tool, the code calls
setrlimit to increase the number of file descriptors available:
 
rl.rlim_cur = 65535;
rl.rlim_max = 65535;
int retval = setrlimit (RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rl);
 
This runs OK when executing the program outside of valgrind but when run
within, it fails and errno is set to EPERM. The process is being run as
root on RHEL5
 
Anyone know a way around this? 
 
Thx,
Scott
