How to set the default heap size of a c program

This is probably a link editor parameter, see the linker and loader guide.

Another thing you can do is write your own sbrk() that will log whenever it's called, so you can at least see how many times it's called and with what values. If you really need in-depth instrumentation, write your own heap routines and give them the same names as the CRTL routines. The linker should find yours first and route all memory operations through them. At least, that's the way it worked for me on SunOS 4.1....
