It looks like my fixes were applied in April.  So Ezra's explanation
is probably correct.

Idea: don't run around naming functions after system functions.  It
only causes pain and misery.  If you need a replacement, call it
something else (in this case, my_getdtablesize() would be fine), and
conditionalize the caller to call the system function, or the
differently-named replacement.
