Damjan,
We can only deal with a finite number of file descriptors already in
this file, although the actual
value can be set as high as required through setrlimit(). getFdEntry()
checks that the fd number
is within the particular limits and all I/O operations will return
EBADF if they happen to be outside.
This was the case even when poll() was used.

Another point is that this switching from poll to select is really just
a temporary band aid in order to get this going. Either poll gets fixed
or this code is changed to use kqueue. Without some initial band aid we
have test failures and a compatibility issue. This goes for other areas
of the code too and it will take a bit of time to clean up all areas.
