In r31258 [1], the output for limit=max was changed. The previous implementation returned

<limits limit="500" />

when limit=max was used. However, a request like api.php?action=query&list=logevents&prop=revisions&lelimit=max&rvlimit=max&rvprop=content&titles=Foo caused the following problems: * The code would try to overwrite the already set <limits> tag, causing a fatal error * prop=revisions&rvprop=content enforces a stricter limit (200) than list=logevents (500)

These issues have been resolved by changing the output format to:

<limits logevents="500" revisions="200" />

This change is expected to be included in the upcoming 1.12 release (unless Brion throws it out).
