Name one.
BSD and Linux systems are perfectly capable of handling more than 1024
file descriptors in the select() call.
The problem is in glibc. A ONE LINE bugfix to two glibc include files

Just ONE LINE.
There were -- and still are -- sites that use UW IMAP on platforms

Send in a patch to fix those platforms!
The patch is to fix the broken glibc includes on Linux, and has already
been discussed in more than enough detail for anyone to figure out what to
do.
