Jason T. Greene resolved JBAS-5965.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Darwin allows max files to be RLIMIT_INFINITY ("unlimited") only on hard limits. When the startup script tries to set the soft to be equal to the hard limit this fails.

The solution I have applied queries the kernel for the true limitation when the hard limit is set to unlimited.
