[PATCH] avoid OPEN_MAX in SCM_MAX_FD

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Wed Jul 11 2007 - 20:59:21 EST



The OPEN_MAX constant is an arbitrary number with no useful relation to
anything. Nothing should be using it. SCM_MAX_FD is just an arbitrary
constant and it should be clear that its value is chosen in net/scm.h
and not actually derived from anything else meaningful in the system.
