How do you determine (portably) if the socket you got from 'socket' is
inside the legal range for FD_SET? Many platforms, including Linux, will
happilly allow 'socket' to return values that are way out of range for
FD_SET. And FD_SET has no error return.

This will cause crashes on, for example, Linux applications that use more
than 1,024 sockets. I bet that covers things like web servers that use
OpenSSL.
