I have checked in a change that rejects new connections if the
platform selectable file descriptor limit is reached. I don't believe
it is safe on most platforms to arbitrarily increase FD_SETSIZE. It is
safe on Windows, but it certainly isn't on Linux. I don't know about
Solaris.

On Solaris, you might want to use Serguei Kolos's patch to use poll
instead of select(). I plan to integrate something equivalent, but I
think Serguei's code will probably break on some platforms due to its
use of high bits in the events masks.

Cheers,

Duncan.
