Next best thing I can think of is to stick "ulimit -a >/tmp/mylimits"
into the postgres initscript and restart.

If the initscript is starting postgres via "su -l", it might be better
to add the command in postgres' ~/.bashrc or some such place. You
have to consider the possibility that the su is changing the ulimit
environment.
