> As far as I have understood the bug,a new function has to be created
which would check whether the relay is a public relay
Use `public_server_mode(get_options())` to check if tor is a relay.

warn the user about the same. Let me know if I understood something wrong.
> The only thing that I am not sure of is where will the new function be
added?
You could add code at the end of `set_max_file_descriptors()` that checks
`limit`.
