Process name suggests it's part of db2 database. It seems it has to implement its own interface to select() syscall, because glibc itself seems to have a FD_SETSIZE limit of 1024, which is probably why this wasn't an issue for all the years...
ISTR the canonical way to increase the size being to set FD_SETSIZE to a larger value before including any of the headers. Or doesn't that work with linux and glibc ?? David
