Jim,

Take a look at the Erlang prompt right below where ulimit -n gives  
10240, i.e.

>> Erlang R13B01 (erts-5.7.2) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads: 
>> 0]
>> [kernel-poll:true]

I thought this means I do have kernel poll enabled. I should since I  
pass +K.

The part that I'm surprised about is that select is still used.
