--- Comment #1 from Konstantin Belousov <kib at FreeBSD.org> ---
Is there a consensus that the patch is the right thing to do ?

POSIX specifies that RLIM_SAVED_MAX and RLIM_SAVED_CUR can be same as
RLIM_INFINITY, if all limit values are represented as rlim_t.  Our rlim_t is
64-bit signed (which is already non-conforming), and e.g. RLIMIT_FSIZE file
sizes larger than (1ULL<<63) cannot be represented by our rlim_t without some
strength of interpretation.
