bug#11508: 24.1.50; Off-by-one error in xg_select?

[Ken Brown <kbrown@cornell.edu>]

I apologize in advance for the noise if I'm misunderstanding something,
but it seems to me that there is an error in the calculation of the
first argument in the call to select in xgselect.c:105. (Line numbers
refer to the current trunk; xgselect.c was last changed in bzr revno
108249.)

The parameter "max_fds" in xg_select, in spite of its name, is initially
1 higher than the maximal file descriptor in the fd_sets in the other
parameters.  If max_fds doesn't get increased in line 78 or 83, then
line 104 does the wrong thing, causing the first argument to select in
line 105 to be 1 higher than it should be.

I think the following patch fixes this.  It also renames "max_fds" to
"fds_lim" to more accurately reflect what it represents.
