The patch fails on Leopard and Snow Leopard. It builds and the header 
files seems to recognize _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT.
But the emulator crashes at start in a call to select():

(gdb) bt
#0  0x92b91ac6 in select$DARWIN_EXTSN ()
#1  0x00145eab in erts_sys_main_thread () at sys/unix/sys.c:2989
#2  0x00028171 in erl_start (argc=<value temporarily unavailable, due to 
optimizations>, argv=0xbffff188) at beam/erl_init.c:1679
#3  0xbffff36b in ?? ()
#4  0x6c2f0074 in ?? ()


I tried to add _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT to sys/unix/sys.c (where the 
crashing call is made)
but that made no difference.
