Yep, I followed that information. I've used 'poll' at work (on Solaris,
I think it was). The problem is that Linux doesn't seem to support 'poll'.
Grrr.
The bright side is that using 'poll' doesn't really help unless you
are multithreaded (which I'm not), since you always have to wait for
input from any of your open client sockets. Since UNIX/Linux re-uses
fd numbers, they will tend to cluster towards the small end of the
values, and hence just keeping track of the maximum one works out not
too badly.
