+QNX
+===
+   (This section was graciously brought to us by David Bentham)
+
+   By setting FD_SETSIZE early in connect.c we override the QNX default value
+   and thus avoid a crash.
+
+   Fortunately in the QNX headers its defined as
+
+    #ifndef FD_SETSIZE
+      #define FD_SETSIZE 32
+    #endif
+
+   so its relatively easy to override without changing the original
+   definition. QNX claim posix compliance so this definition style could be
+   standard in other o/s's. Eg Microsoft Visual C++ 6 defines it similarly,
+   but its set to 64.
