  72          The drawback of this loop is that it allocates memory for a libc
  73          internal array that is never freed.
  74
  75          The number N can also be obtained as the upper bound for
  76          _getmaxstdio ().  _getmaxstdio () returns the maximum number of open
  77          FILE objects.  The sanity check in _setmaxstdio reveals the maximum
  78          number of file descriptors.  This too allocates memory, but it is
  79          freed when we call _setmaxstdio with the original value.  */
