perhaps being a kernel nazi here could help, basically have select(2) return
EPERM or some such (EDONTBEADUMBASS) where more than say 1024 fd's are
specified.
I've been playing with poll and it seems to work adequately and seems to
scale better, but nothing too concrete yet (it compiles and runs, lets ship
it).
Sure, its an ugly hack, but it would break broken code hard, before its
perhaps too late.
