I'm thinking here that "indefinitely" gets to be a very long time for the
person in the spaceship; i.e., he never actually reaches the point that
integrated acceleration will sum up to more than the speed of light,
because time increasingly slows down for him until it effectively stops,
and each new impulse takes longer and longer to complete.
