I'm reluctant to apply this, because MAX() is not a standard
macro. I suppose it may not be present on some other UNIX
systems. You thoughts?

I know the BSDs have it; maybe not all of them (I don't know them all), but it is present at least in OpenBSD, libbsd, FreeBSD so I guess it's common enough.
For other UNIX systems, I have no idea.
Maybe there's some unicorn UNIX that doesn't have it... impossible to tell.

Cheers,

Alex
