RE: poll function in cygwin

["Nguyen Minh Sang" <SangNM at fsoft dot com dot vn>]

Hi !

  I has written a CHAT server that uses poll function. In linux, it's
OK. The concurrent connection I achieved is lager than 1024. But on
Win2k (compile in cygwin) then concurrent connection reach only 1023 and
the process bug: Segmentaion fault. could you help me to solve this
problem ?

Thanks and Best Regards,
sangnm.

I was thinking that maximum number of handles which can be waited via
WaitForMultipleObjects() is 64, thus limiting a number of handles that
can be select()ed. It's probably possible to work around such
limitation in cygwin select() but either i've missed something or no
such workaround was created in cygwin code.
