I actually follow a slightly different rule: never fix more than one version of a working system :-). >Anyway, in lots of cases FD_SETSIZE defined to 256 is not enough. >I thought, it would simply be smart to merge this change from >-current, since it's been working over there for about a year now? The userland change would give incompatible libraries according to `zgrep fd_set /usr/share/man/man3/*'. This didn't seem to cause any problems in -current when the libc major wasn't bumped, but -stable should be stabler.
