 This is fixed in -current because poll() has no descriptor limits.
 
 In -stable, it was fixed in 1.10.2.3 where the descriptor table is 
 malloc'ed if necessary.  select() in -stable was changed to allow 
 effectively unlimited fd_set sizes in rev 1.19, which was just prior to 
 the RELENG_2_2 branchpoint.  It should be well and truely fixed there too.
 
 The only "problem" is old binaries linked with a 2.1.x libc or statically 
 linked where res_send.c does not know how to feed larger fd_set's into 
 select().
 
 Cheers,
 -Peter
