On some operating systems, RLIM_INFINITY is set to -1 so that when the hard limit on the number of FDs is set to unlimited, taking the MAX of both values keeps rlim_fd_cur and everything works. But on other systems this values is defined as the highest positive integer. This is what was observed on a 32-bit AIX 5.1. The effect is that maxsock becomes 2^31-1 and that fdtab allocation fails. Note that a simple workaround consists in manually setting maxconn in the global section. Let's ignore unlimited as soon as we retrieve rlim_fd_max so that all systems behave consistently. This may be backported as far as 2.0, though it doesn't seem like it has annoyed anyone.
