        I think it should be highlighted somewhere.

        Fortunately in the QNX headers its defined as

        #ifndef FD_SETSIZE
         #define FD_SETSIZE 32
        #endif

        so its relatively easy to override without changing the original
definition. QNX claim posix compliance so this definition style could be
standard in other o/s's. Eg Microsoft Visual C++ 6 defines it similarly, but
its set to 64.

        My initial thoughts are to put some simple test in the Makefile?
With a 'configure' option to pass in a user- (or best-guess) override
definition in the GCC options.

        On the other hand, it seems bizzarre that the o/s function call to
socket(..) returns a socket descriptor outside its own arbitrary range...
perhaps I'll inform QNX about this.
