You are not, per chance, tripping over some file descriptor limit in select? I don't know when it has been fixed in FreeBSD (if ever), but 4.4BSD's select() kernel code had a limit on the highest numbered file descriptor. Namely the value of FD_SETSIZE at the time the kernel was compiled. -- Christoph Badura O'Reilly/International Thomson Verlag
