New description:

 Say OSX is 10.8.3 and open files are:

 {{{
 ulimit -Sn
 10240
 ulimit -Hn
 12288
 }}}

 Then the current code will have rl.rlim_max as 12288, which is greater
 than OPEN_MAX. This produces an error in setrlimit() at line 438.  See the
 attached log.  OSX's setrlimit(2) is tricky and recently its behavior has
 changed. The manual page gives highlights.  This problem is analogous to
 closed, fixed ticket:35612 for bsdmake and the solution is similar.
