Some implementations of Unix support an "increased" number of file
descriptors, but POSIX only *requires* _16_ open files at one time
(_POSIX_FILE_MAX).  Using more than 16 could be a portability problem
if POSIX compliance is an issue.  Of course, TCP is not (currently)
part of POSIX, but there are plenty of TCP implementations on POSIX.
