+
+   A descriptor number says nothing about identity, since the kernel hands
+   the same number out again as soon as it is closed. Every slot therefore
+   carries a generation that is bumped when the descriptor is given up, and
+   every caller that was told about a descriptor has to say which generation
+   it was told about. A caller holding a stale generation is turned away
+   instead of being handed somebody else's connection.
+
+   The table is sized once from RLIMIT_NOFILE and never moves, so looking a
+   descriptor up needs no synchronisation at all. */
