Ah ha. The problem with select is mentioned in the solaris faq re:
increasing file descriptors, which I did include in my reply to Stewart
on squid-users some time ago.

Presumably, you tried setting FD_SETSIZE before including <sys/types.h>
as documented in the select man page? Or is this the big 'doesn't work
as documented' bug in solaris?
