I don't think this is a big problem in reality, though - both values seem to be pretty high in most implementations. And IIRC git-daemon is the only one who needs more than 2, and it doesn't even check RLIMIT_NOFILE. If we decide to go this route, perhaps it'd make sense to change to this code for Windows also? Our Windows-implementation of poll() has some annoying limitations... -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
