According to the man page on B.11.11 setrlimit() can fail
with EINVAL ( which maps to invalid file) for:

[EINVAL] An invalid resource was specified; or in a
setrlimit() call, the new rlim_cur exceeds the new
rlim_max.

[EINVAL] The limit specified cannot be lowered because
current usage is already higher than the limit.

[EINVAL] A user with appropriate privileges has attempted
to raise rlp->rlim_cur or rlp->rlim_max to a value
greater than the system is capable of supporting.

[EINVAL] The value of rlp->rlim_cur is less than the number
of file descriptors the process already has
allocated.

[EINVAL] The value of rlp->rlim_max is less than the
current soft limit.

Now named sets both rlp->rlim_cur and rlp->rlim_max to the same
value which leaves.

[EINVAL] An invalid resource was specified;

[EINVAL] The limit specified cannot be lowered because
current usage is already higher than the limit.

[EINVAL] A user with appropriate privileges has attempted
to raise rlp->rlim_cur or rlp->rlim_max to a value
greater than the system is capable of supporting.
