Comment:

 The second patch works for me, however this comment should probably be
 removed or corrected as well:

 {{{
   if (limit == 0) {
     /* XXXX DEAD CODE We can't reach this point, since the first "if" in
 this
      * function increases limit if it started out less than ULIMIT_BUFFER
 */
 }}}
