OK, that was probably uncalled for. I tend to get more than my fair share of grief simply because I don't spend my every waking hour tweaking the Linux kernel or reveling in sed scripts. <quote> Maxfd is used in select() to tell the operating system the highest numbered Fd that interests you in __this__ particular call to select() </quote> Windows ignores this particular number in it's calls to select so there isn't much I can do in that regard. After searching the 2s6 code I don't see the use of select or the wrapped up mio_select anywhere. Did I miss something? I think this would suggest you aren't gauranteed particular handle values under any OS. There just seems something fundementally flawed about using the handle values the OS gives you as anything meaningful - except possibly for a dictionary lookup. I also have a problem with using signals as process control, but I can easily state that particular bias is due to my windows background.
