Hi Ludovic,

> ...  Would you explain

the main reason was the bad support for select (Check_Selector):
the Socket_Set_Type allowed for only a maximum of 32 file
descriptors (sockets + normal files).  Believe me, it is easy to write
a program that has more than 32 files open at once.  Fixing this
requires a complete rewrite of Socket_Set_Type, which was done
by the GNAT people at some point after 3.15p.  I could have backported
just this change, but since it was quite big and the 3.15p GNAT sockets
implementation seemed generally weak, and much better in CVS, I just
grabbed the whole lot from CVS.

> Would you file bugs in Debian for me? ...

I will try to find the time.

All the best,

Duncan.
