In the LIMITS file, a user is allowed to enter negative values in the fields maxfiles, maxkbytes, maxturnins, binary.

This would result in an effective value of zero?

No, if the maximum amount of files is -5, you can never turn in, even without files.

Fix by commit 94dedb4 cannot be verified although it should probably work. I recommend adding proper messaging to follow the other similar errors as well like "Mention to instructor or TAs".
