Well, the doc section does say:

"On platforms where PostgreSQL can determine the kernel limit, the 
server will not allow this variable to be set to an unsafe value. "

though I agree it's a bit vague. It doesn't explicitly say that on such 
platforms, the default value will be chosen automatically. Want to 
suggest how to phrase that section in the docs?
