I found following in pgbench.c:
#define MAXCLIENTS 1024 /* max number of clients allowed */
This is used for calculating the upper limit of -c option. However
actual limit is coming from the number of descriptors that select(2)
can watch (besides the number of file descriptors allowed by the
kernal. This is different story though, I think). So it seems the line
would be better looking at FD_SETSIZE in select.h.
Included is the proposed patch. Comments?
