The relevant change was Revision 1.72.2.15, which put a maxproc check
in a place that hadn't had one at all before.  This was a fix to a bug
(which may have been theoretically present for a long time, but hadn't
affected any hardware built until recently), so "fixing" this would be
more complicated than just changing an error string...
