Personally, I would take the "Min", "Default", and "Max" to mean what
Greg intends; it's the "Current" one that gives me pause. The current
value of this connection? The value that a new connection will
currently get? The value which new connections will get after a
reload with the current conf file? The value which new connections
will get after a restart with the current conf file? I can understand
how someone would take one of these four values to be what is meant by
"Default", though.
