Hello,

	Here's a sample program. Try running it and open about 2k of 
connections to port 5222 (you'll need ulimit -n 10000 or like that). It 
will segfault. Simple asm like this
   __asm__(
	"pushl %eax \n\t" 	"movl  0(%ebp), %eax \n\t"
	"cmp   $65535, %eax \n\t"
	"ja isok \n\t"
	"xor  %eax, %eax \n\t"
	"movl  %eax, 0(%eax) \n\t"	 
	"isok: \n\t"
	"popl  %eax \n\t"
   );
after each subroutine call will show you that after select() [ebp] have 
weird value. While this is unlikely to be a security flaw, i think this 
is a bug.

ps: it's okay for 1k of connections or so
pps: kernel 2.4.17 on i686, gcc 3.0.3, glibc 2.2.3.
