   o Minor bugfixes (control port):
-    - Control port was using set_max_file_descriptors() with a limit set
-      to 0 to get the max value. A recent fix made this use case return
-      an error and introduced dead code in that function. This triggered
-      a warning that our limit (ConnLimit) was invalid but in reality it

-      Now, to the control port uses a specific getter function to query
-      the value and set_max_file_descriptors() should never be used
-      again for that purpose. Fixes bug 16697; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
