2.6 STILL has a 1024 limit on select() - it also appears to still only
go up to 4096 fds (same as 2.5.1). I tried to get a late 2.6beta
running with 8192, and found all sorts of things breaking - whether this
was because things were using select(), I don't know. (I gave up in digust,
and haven't gone back to it yet).

I don't know _why_ Sun still haven't fixed select() - writing it from
scratch to deal with larger numbers of fds was an hours work.

On Solaris and Digital Unix, using poll() is much faster than select(),
anyway.
