commit 61d7788b83b302207a67b82786f4fd79e3538f30
Author: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@gnu.org>

    Don't crash when RLIMIT_NOFILE is set to RLIM_INFINITY
    
    * src/safe.c (min_cached_fds): Define minimum number of cached dir file
    descriptors.
    (max_cached_fds): Change type to rlim_t to allow storing RLIM_INFINITY.
    (init_dirfd_cache): Set max_cached_fds to RLIM_INFINITY when RLIMIT_NOFILE is
    RLIM_INFINITY.  Set the initial hash table size to min_cached_fds, independent
    of RLIMIT_NOFILE: patches commonly only affect one or a few files, so a small
    hash table will usually suffice; if needed, the hash table will grow.
    (insert_cached_dirfd): Don't shrink the cache when max_cached_fds is
    RLIM_INFINITY.
