Bug 205919: [patch] lang/mono: increase FD limit for kqueue-based
FileSystemWatcher
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205919



--- Description ---
Created attachment 165099
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=165099&action=edit
back-port the change to increase the FD limit from master

The kqueue-based FileSystemWatcher implementation has a hard-coded limit of 200
file descriptors in both 4.2.1.124 and 4.2.2.10. This limit appears to be
arbitrary, and it's gone in upstream master (now defaults to Int32.MaxValue).
Attached patch back-ports the relevant change from master to allow watching
directory hierarchies with more than 200 entries.
