Yeah, I was a little bit confused about what my commit actually did (it's been 12 years!) but my point is that a) by all means, signedness doesn't really matter for compatibility, but b) if we're changing the type, we might as well change the value of RLIM_INFINITY to (rlim_t)-1 to match other OSes, and we can do it without significant breakage.
