Synopsis: FD_SET should not be called without bounds checking State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: dgaudet State-Changed-When: Mon May 25 10:44:35 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: Apache 1.3 already has the FD_SETSIZE tests... and I'd rather see apache use poll() rather than the lame select() interface, and especially not a hacked FD_REALLOC interface which doesn't exist everywhere... but we're unlikely to make that change because the next version of apache is likely to hide all these details in a portability library. (Currently we're doing work with NSPR -- netscape's portable runtime.) I think you need to compile apache with the correct -DFD_SETSIZE on *BSD systems in order to get it to behave correctly. Like I said, the entire select() interface is broken. The only reason I never rewrote it to use poll() was that I didn't feel like figuring out which systems support it... almost everything new does, but our configuration tool is a pain to do these things with.
