It would be relatively easy to expand the fd array in increments -- the code
would just need to free the prior array after copying. My first plan was to just
double the array at each step.
But based on a message posted here a while back, it appears that although very
few tasks use more than 30 or so fds, those that do need more typically require
many hundreds. So it seemed better to just expand to the max in one step.
