I think this original fix was Duane's reponse to a situation I had -
the system (in this case NetBSD) offered lots of file descriptors
(a total of 3404) per process, but select() breaks at 256.
There's also the Irix situation, where FD_SETSIZE is a default 1024
but can be up to 2500 (default Max fds per process).
In most cases, I think the problem is actually the inconsistencies
within the operating system - NetBSD certainly is at fault. Sounds
like you've got a similar problem in Linux.
