Right :-) Most definitely it will break libc_r and librpc >(at very least). It's not obvious that it actually breaks things. It just takes too much work to verify that it doesn't. librpc has a variable giving the size of the descriptor set actually used, and things might work if the old FD_SETSIZE is not exceeded. Applications that need the larger size hopefully use new libraries that give it. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
