Subject: [ruby-core:22573] [Bug #670] select doesn't handle fd's > FD_SETSIZE very well

Issue #670 has been updated by Roger Pack.


Two things come to mind, if 4096 is not an acceptable option :)
1) check for fd number count before doing a select.  If it's > FD_SETSIZE raise error.
2) A compromise, ex: setting FD_SETSIZE to 512, since that's the limit of MSVCRT 6, which is used by 99% of 1.8.x compilers.  I put 4096 as a conservative number.

Thanks for looking into this.
