- Actually, even that patch wasn't enough to get rid of the problem
- totally: the real fix will be to get 0.98-pl4 - out in a couple of hours
- after I have gotten the new fd_set code checked a bit more (I finally
- decided that NR_OPEN should be more than 32, which results in some major
- edits with respect to select() and the fd_set handling routines..)
