Subject: using 'select' under Domain-IX

I don't quite understand how the 'select' call is supposed to work under
Domain-IX.  'select' wants you to set the bits in a 32-bit int to represent
which file descriptors you are interested in.  This is fine except that
under Domain-IX a file descriptor can be a number larger than 31.  Is it
'select' useless on the Apollo or am I missing something here?
