<p>Obviously using this option only makes sense if you choose a
limit below the one enforced by the operating system.</p>
+
+ <p>One most POSIX-compliant systems <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> can't properly deal with more than
+ FD_SETSIZE file descriptors at the same time and has to reject
+ connections if the limit is reached. This will likely change in
+ a future version, but currently this limit can't be increased
+ without recompiling <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>
+ with a different FD_SETSIZE limit.</p>
