The difficult part is to provide a reasonable parameter for
FD_SETSIZE/ ISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE, etc that work for everyone.  That's
why P2 doesn't try to change the system default by default.  Even
though I know even P2 should still have some scalability
limitation, I suspect the primary reason for this particular report is
the use of a small FD_SETSIZE value.  I understand your concern, but
I'd appreciate if you could still be a bit more patient to see what
actually happened.
