(one day I'll learn to open a defect)

duphi.patch.patch

The socket descriptor shouldn't be moved in 64-bit mode (patch should 
check build environment) since the 256-fd limit for stdio is not an 
issue for 64-bit apps.

Low descriptors will be chewed up by other apr functions (file open, 
pipe open, accept) as well as non-apr code. I guess it helps some apps 
in some configurations (e.g., httpd has a big bunch of listening sockets 
and some plugin module or support library uses fopen(). If this patch is 
important for 32-bit apps, it would seem even more important to do the 
same thing for file descriptors created by apr_file_open().

Fishing for other thoughts:

Maybe some of the other solutions at 
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/stdio_256.html are more 
appropriate to the 32-bit case.
