Hmm I just found I had an FD leak - I am not sure if it's related.

Interestingly I had ~1046 FDs open and FD_SET wasn't working properly, eg...
    fd_set		fds;
    int			fd;

    fd = 1046;
    FD_ZERO(&fds);
    FD_SET(fd, &fds);

Results in fds being empty :(

Does anyone know if that is expected behaviour? And whether this problem could 
cause the second one (eg tickle a bug).

Thanks.
