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().
