(fix - thanks to Manfred) Re: 2.3.41: kmalloc: Size (33554432) too large.

[Tigran Aivazian]

Hi,

Manfred spotted it - it was nfds = 0 that would cause overflow. Dumb I was
checking the entire range +/-2G and forgetting about the middle :)

Here is the fix (return 0 like other Unices do if nfds = 0).

Regards,
