Check out status(), and /include/status.h (or wherever you have it
generated) which gives you:

[...]
# define ST_OTABSIZE    13      /* object table size */
[...[]
# define ST_COTABSIZE   15      /* callouts table size */
[...]
# define ST_UTABSIZE    18      /* user table size */
# define ST_ETABSIZE    19      /* editor table size */
# define ST_STRSIZE     20      /* max string size */
# define ST_ARRAYSIZE   21      /* max array/mapping size */
[...]

The reason that these can be found here and not in a generated include
file is that while an object may be compiled at one point, the mud may
have restarted with a different DGD config file, which may among other
things redefine the limitations that are listed here.  So you need to
get them dynamically.

Hope that helps,

Erwin.
