Does anyone know if I can just safely bump this number up to, say, 128?
I have tried looking through the code, and it doesn't quite look safe --
it seems like the limit of "32" may be magic, but I can't quite fathom
what it is dependent upon...  I have seen evidence that this can be
set by an "option" in the config file on BSDI, but at the minimum, this
approach would require protecting the define in socket.h with #ifndef.
