As of r55652 [1], passing a too high or too low value to a limit
parameter will no longer cause an error, but throw a warning instead
and continue with the maximum (for too high values) or the minimum
(for too low values) limit. This was done to be nicer towards clients
that could potentially be broken by the recent change to srlimit [2].
The change is not live on Wikipedia yet, but I will try to get it
pushed live ASAP.
