Everywhere in the Redis code base, maxclients is treated as an int with (int)maxclients or `maxclients = atoi(source)`, so let's make maxclients an int. This fixes a bug where someone could specify a negative maxclients on startup and it would work (as well as set maxclients very high) because: unsigned int maxclients; char *update = "-300"; maxclients = atoi(update); if (maxclients < 1) goto fail; But, (maxclients < 1) can only catch the case when maxclients is exactly 0. maxclients happily sets itself to -300, which isn't -300, but rather 4294966996, which isn't < 1, so... everything "worked." maxclients config parsing checks for the case of < 1, but maxclients CONFIG SET parsing was checking for case of < 0 (allowing maxclients to be set to 0). CONFIG SET parsing is now updated to match config parsing of < 1. It's tempting to add a MINIMUM_CLIENTS define, but... I didn't. These changes were inspired by antirez#356, but this doesn't fix that issue.
