/* We are looking for the number N such that the valid file descriptors
36
are 0..N-1. It can be obtained through a loop as follows:
39
for (fd = 3; fd < 65536; fd++)
40
if (dup2 (0, fd) == -1)
44
On Windows XP, the result is 2048.
45
The drawback of this loop is that it allocates memory for a libc
46
internal array that is never freed.
48
The number N can also be obtained as the upper bound for
49
_getmaxstdio (). _getmaxstdio () returns the maximum number of open
50
FILE objects. The sanity check in _setmaxstdio reveals the maximum
51
number of file descriptors. This too allocates memory, but it is
52
freed when we call _setmaxstdio with the original value. */
