if (ntraps >= MAXTRAPS || ++trap_tries >= MAXTRPTRY || levtype == POSTLEV ||
    rnd(50)>=(tp->t_stats.s_dext+tp->t_stats.s_lvl/2+thief_bonus)) {
	if (is_player)
		msg("The trap failed!");
	return;
}

Ergo, there is a limit.

For it to hit, you have to be in the square adjacent to the monster.  It
seems to be worthless in any case.
