Hal,

File descriptors are opaque data types.  You shouldn't make 
any assumptions about what values they take other than that
they fit in an int.  That file descriptors are assigned 
incrementally increasing from stdio is only a well known
practice not a guarantee.  I'm currently working with devices
which start at 257 and assign incrementally from there.
