/* We are looking for the number N such that the valid file descriptors
are 0..N-1. It can be obtained through a loop as follows:
{
int fd;
for (fd = 3; fd < 65536; fd++)
if (dup2 (0, fd) == -1)
break;
return fd;
}
On Windows XP, the result is 2048.
The drawback of this loop is that it allocates memory for a libc
internal array that is never freed.
The number N can also be obtained as the upper bound for
_getmaxstdio (). _getmaxstdio () returns the maximum number of open
FILE objects. The sanity check in _setmaxstdio reveals the maximum
number of file descriptors. This too allocates memory, but it is
freed when we call _setmaxstdio with the original value. */
