Wrt the complaint below, should we make `__FSEXT_alloc_fd' use `dup'
rather than `open' DOS call?  Since the handle isn't used for actual DOS
calls, it doesn't seem to be important, and `dup' can go beyond what
FILES= says. 

Comments?

In other words, I cannot create more (and keep them lingering) sockets than
DOS allows handles to NUL !?? What a pain...
