| Yes, I know how select(2) works; since its usage was fixed in the
| other patch, I don't see why this check should be changed to some
| just-as-arbitrary number rather than simply eliminated. If I don't get
| an explanation from Loic, I'm just going to remove it at some point.
Agreed, it should be eliminated and the system default should be
kept. Anyway, I withdraw my request, we switched to "socat" today after
I had a look at the "netcat" code, and it fits its job perfectly, so we
won't be using "netcat" anymore.
PS/ I think Loic dropped the ball, he is with another company now, so
it is unlikely that you hear from him about this report
