 max_sockets in that case?

 Yes I agree, especially if the current limit is below the default, that is
 important. I also moved a check at the top else we could have ended up in
 a having `max_sockets` negative.

 FYI, this branch has been running on my relay for the last 2 weeks and no
 problem at all. Bonus, I don't have a zillion log message telling me that
 I can't open more sockets and also tor doesn't fail anymore when trying to
 write the state or HS stats file (which it used to be the case a lot).

 Branch: `bug16288_027_03`
