from the freebsd select() function:

        /*
         * The magic 2048 here is chosen to be just enough for FD_SETSIZE
         * infds with the new FD_SETSIZE of 1024, and more than enough for
         * FD_SETSIZE infds, outfds and exceptfds with the old FD_SETSIZE
         * of 256.
         */
        fd_mask s_selbits[howmany(2048, NFDBITS)];
