In the abstract, the statement is true (is this a homework question or something?)

There's a chunk of code in the Erlang virtual machine that clips the maximum number of file descriptors to FD_SETSIZE, 1024 by default, at compile time.

It only does this on the Mac, claiming the need to fall back to select when kqueue fails.

While that's true in the default case, one needs only to define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT at compile time (before system headers are #include'd). You still would need to expand the fd_set to a larger bitfield, should you use that construct. We've done this in the Asterisk project, for example. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
