     One most POSIX-compliant systems &my-app; can't properly deal with
-    more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors at the same time and has to reject
-    connections if the limit is reached. This will likely change in a
-    future version, but currently this limit can't be increased without
-    recompiling &my-app; with a different FD_SETSIZE limit.
+    more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors if &my-app; has been configured
+    to use select() and has to reject connections if the limit is reached.
+    When using select() this limit therefore can't be increased without
+    recompiling &my-app; with a different FD_SETSIZE limit unless &my-app;
+    is running on Windows with _WIN32 defined.

+    When &my-app; has been configured to use poll() the FD_SETSIZE limit
+    does not apply.
