I know from linux that the reason Linus won't increase the FD limits
substantially is because some badly-written programs break. Supposedly they
allocate a space big enough for 'FD_SETSIZE' when they are compiled, and then
try and fill it with the values returned from getrlimit and co.. and
end up scribbling over random data... (seems like a silly programming
idea to me)
