>Release:        1.3.3
>Environment:
BSDI BSD/OS 3.1
gcc 2.7.2.1
>Description:
The doc (see above URL) says that one should be able to get around the
FD_SETSIZE problem by "adding DFD_SETSIZE=nnn to EXTRA_CFLAGS".  With 1.3.3,
there's no easy way to add this by hand to any of the Makefiles or Configuration
files, which is what the doc suggests.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The correct way is to set the "CFLAGS" environment variable before
running "configure".  This kind of thing is suggested elsewhere in the doc 
for other reasons.  (What I did was modify "config.status" myself, adding
the CFLAGS=""-DFD_SETSIZE=nnn" before the "./configure".
