I just redid the file descriptor limit stuff for INN (I was sitting in the
Seattle airport waiting for a delayed flight and happened to have the INN
source tree on my laptop and nothing better to do), and the setfdlimit
function fails and returns -1 if you attempt to set a file descriptor
limit that's larger than FD_SETSIZE.
