MAXCLIENTS is defined in xc/programs/Xserver/include/misc.h
It's currently 256.

Available fds would be another limiting factor. The client

doubling the number of client IDs will half the number of
resources available to each client.

I am reassigning this bug and setting its parameters appropriately.
