Client apps also have to worry about the fd count, since depending on the app and object caching policy it's very easy to get over 1024 objects. But the solutions above may work for that case as well; I don't expect many apps rely on select(), and those that do can fairly easily be converted.
Hmm, I think client apps are a much harder problem, because they are not under a central control. Note that there may be libraries using select(), so you would not be able to link to those, and you'd also need to solve the ulimit problem here.
