[issue17409] resource.setrlimit doesn't respect -1

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Since it says "maximum possible limit", I think -1 is the maximum system limit, not the maximum value a particular process is allowed to use.  If that is true the error message is presumably accurate.  And if that's true it needs to be clarified in the docs...and perhaps an enhancement request added.  But my guess might be wrong, too.
