> The python client uses select() to wait for socket activity.  select() is 
> used because it is available on most platforms.  However, select() has a hard 
> limit on the _value_ of an file descriptor.  If a socket is created that has 
> a file descriptor > the value of FD_SETSIZE, the following exception is 
> thrown:
>   Exception in thread Thread-1:
>   Traceback (most recent call last):
>     File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
>       self.run()
>     File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/threading.py", line 422, in run
>       self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
>     File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/qpid/selector.py", line 119, in run
>       rd, wr, ex = select(self.reading, self.writing, (), timeout)
>   ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()
> Note well: this is caused by the _value_ of the fd, not the number of open 
> fds.  A process that has many files open, then attempts to create a qpid 
> connection, could hit this problem.
