Re: [PATCH] refs.c: enable large transactions

I thought about putting a cap on it to not let it go negative in the first
place, but I did not find an easily accessible max() function, as I'd like
to write it as

    int remaining_fds = max(get_max_fd_limit() - 32, 0);

to have it in one line. The alternative of

    int remaining_fds = get_max_fd_limit() - 32;
    ...
    if (remaining_fds < 0)
        remaining_fds = 0

seemed to cuttered to me.

Just to set the standard yardstick straight, either is fine, but I
would say the latter is slightly preferrable from readability's
point of view.  Rows of dense single lines get tiring to read pretty
quickly.
