as you can see if you look at the source code, all it means is that
the file descriptor is larger than FD_SETSIZE, which is a compile-time
constant.

the number of files supported by an actual system doesn't necessarily
have to match the value of a include-file constant on the build machine...

but I'm pretty sure asyncore supports the "poll" interface.  try changing
the asyncore.loop call in Dibbler.py to:

    asyncore.loop(map=context._map, use_poll=1)

and see what happens.
