This is _WRONG_. _SC_OPEN_MAX is meant to be an argument to sysconf()
(as you saw in the original source) which would normally return the
maximum number of open file descriptors allowed (ie: maxfdescs).
There isn't currently a sysconf() function so you're stuck.
: This is exactly what I had done and fvwm works just fine for me.
You've just told fvwm that the system can have 5 file descriptors open
at a time.
