You're not the first to make that mistake. Both ircd and iauth use that
value. If you get a connection higher the the MAXCONNECTIONS iauth was
compiled with, it will do weird things. We added an extra check *after*
the release of 2.10.3p1 which will send a notice to &auth that you should
recompile iauth. 2.10.3p1 doesn't do that check, and may react differently
depending on the OS. It should crash.
