virtualbox and ulimit

Hi,

I have a very weird behavior with virtualbox on my machine: it works few
moments and then the vm freezes while the virtualbox process take +100% CPU.
(I replaced the CPU fan, graphics card etc..)

I filed a  bug report, and the virtualbox dev people told me to create a
core dump to see whats going on. I used this page (
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Core_dump) to create it.

However, after setting the ulimit to unlimited (ulimit -c unlimited),
virtualbox started to work perfectly well, which is really weird.

So my question is: On Fedora 14 (X86) with virtualbox - what is the
recommended ulimit settings?

Thanks,
Hetz
