filedescriptor out of range in select()

[Paolo Invernizzi]

Spambayes CVS, Python 2.2.3, FreeBSD 5.1

On my machine I'm lunching the pop3proxy with cron at startup, and all 
is fine.

But... sometimes during startup, or after a one or two days, the process 
exits with the following error...

Is a BSD select related problem? Is an asyncore problem? Is a spambayes 
problem?

Someone has observed similar behavior with asyncore?

Thanks in advance
