71 On Windows XP, the result is 2048.
72 The drawback of this loop is that it allocates memory for a libc
73 internal array that is never freed.
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. */
