When there are about 200 sockets, or so, i'm getting
errors: "unable to select on socket"
We are running multithread application, for each thread
there is one socket.

TRACEBACK contains:
  r = self.connection.recv(1024)
error: unable to select on socket.

This error appeared after fixing this problem:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1429585&group_id=5470&atid=105470

Python version: 2.5a0 (trunk, Mar  8 2006, 18:28:30)
OS version: FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE

Soon we will make program that will reproduce this
error if needed.

What is the value of FD_SETSIZE?  Perhaps you should
increase this value before including any headers on FreeBSD?
 If you are using a lot of sockets, you may prefer to use
poll() instead of select() as poll() doesn't have the
FD_SETSIZE limitation.

Thank you very much!

It was fixed by increasing FD_SETSIZE.
