Hello Hackers,
Is getrlimit really broken?
SunOS deprecates usage of getdtablesize in favour of getrlimit(2)
so changing the order of the ifdef to check for getdtablesize somehow
first is not the proper thing to do, although it would work across
all systems I believe.
Fix getrlimit I say!
Any takers?
I am not on the list just wanted to highlight this problem.
regards, jake
