Interesting.

Certainly not, because it's the fd not the idx that is being added
into the fd_set.  I am not too sure about the underlying implementation
on Windows, but on Unix-like OSes, FD_SETSIZE *is* the size of that bit
array.  What you suggest would allow memory stomps.

Given your results, I'm guessing that we are indeed managing to increase
the fd_set size to 1024, but that's not enough to allow order-of-1000
connections because there are other things competing for FD identifiers.
Maybe we should just crank up the forced value of FD_SETSIZE (to, say,
8192)?
