(LONG_MAX - 999ULL) / HZ)
That is, the limit depends on the size of a long and the timer
- frequency. Assuming the a long is never smaller than 32 bits
+ frequency. Assuming the long is never smaller than 32 bits
and HZ never larger than 1000, the worst case is 35 minutes.
I think this should be mentioned under "BUGS".
Rework and reorganize the text in various parts of the page.
Isolate details specific to recv() vs recvfrom() vs recvmsg()
Place details specific to each system call under a

Rework discussion of 'src_addr' and 'addrlen' for recvfrom()
Add description of 'buf' and 'len' in recvfrom() section
'addrlen' should be 0 (*not* NULL) when 'src_addr' is NULL
Recent changes to various pages employ this distinction.

Tighten wording: use 'mode bit' rather than 'permission bit'
