This isn't what FD_SETSIZE is about.  FD_SETSIZE does *NOT* define the
maximum count of fd's in an fd_set.

It defines the maximum fd number usable in an fd_set.

So if FD_SETSIZE is defined low enough:

  #define FD_SETSIZE 3
  #include <sys/select.h>

  /* Only fd's 0, 1, and 2 will be allowed in this fd_set */
  fd_set set;

  FD_ZERO (&set);
  /* This will probaly set fd to 3 */
  fd = open ("foo", O_RDONLY); 
  /* So this will (hopefully) fail */
  FD_SET (fd, &set);
