I thought FD_SETSIZE defaults to 1024. Any 9.x.y-P1 versions can only open FD_SETSIZE sockets, regardless of the # FDs limit. Besides, I guess that the P1 versions severely suffer from heavy overhead of select(2) when it regularly opens more than 1000 sockets. Even if 'too many open file' messages are gone, many users won't accept the increased load due to the overhead. Beta versions use kqueue, eliminating the fundamental overhead as well as the (too low) limitation of # of descriptors. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.
