Please don't use that goddam M$ mailer. I can't see what you
wrote without saving to a file, etc. Most use 'pine'  or
something compatible with __text__ !


Anyway you advised to do something like:

	fd = open("/", O_RDONLY);
        close(fd);

        fd is now supposed to contain the largest process fd + 1.
        I don't think this is correct! You can do open thousands
         of fds, ultimately more than the max fd value. It will
        eventually wrap.
