I will delete the definitions of OPEN_MAX and CHILD_MAX soon (defining
them means that there is a fixed limit), so defining them is wrong on
all systems with the corresponding setrlimit()s).  This might break some
broken ports properly :-).  It will break doscmd (which uses a strange
mixture of OPEN_MAX and sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)).  I fixed all other uses
of them in /usr/src some time ago.
