>=20

But there IS a hard-coded limit:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/dtable.h?rev=3D1.59&=
content-type=3Dtext/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=3Dsrc

/* Initial and increment values for cygwin's fd table */
#define NOFILE_INCR    32
/* Maximum size we allow expanding to.  */
#define OPEN_MAX_MAX (100 * NOFILE_INCR)

My point is that on all other systems, even if the dtable itself
dynamically grows, getdtablesize() returns the maximum it can grow to,
not its current size.  Cygwin's behavior is the odd man out, and is
causing grief in the gnulib test suite.
