The Winsock version doesn't have this limitation. It's a very weak select() because it only works on network sockets, but it doesn't care about numeric values of file descriptors. As on POSIX, file descriptors are added and removed to the select set using macros, and these work on a vector or linked list (I forgot) instead of a bitset.
