                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is entirely unnecessary.  select(2) can determine the size of the
bitmasks from the nfds parameter just fine.

I'd rather have the FD_ZERO fixed to take the size of the fd_set
as a explicit parameter.

I seem to remember that fd_sets once were plain integer arrays.
