Re: delay pools and fd_set 's

Adrian: What was the exact number of filedescriptors you configured
Squid for using?

I am a bit reluctant about doing this change in Squid-2.5 as to me
this large (but non-intrusive) change does not seem to be needed if
the FD_SETSIZE override is fixed to ensure the new size gets rounded
up properly.

Note: Your patch relies on the undocumented "howmany" macro which just
happens to be found in the glibc headers with a suitable definition..

I do not mind if the fd_set dependency is killed in delay pools and
comm code for Squid-3 (obviously save for select() processing). In
fact I would encourage this happening there.

Henrik
