grep(1) is your friend, ask him:

turnbull:~$ fgrep FD_SETSIZE /usr/include/linux/*
fgrep: /usr/include/linux/modules: Is a directory
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:#undef __FD_SETSIZE
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:#define __FD_SETSIZE   1024
/usr/include/linux/time.h:#define FD_SETSIZE            __FD_SETSIZE

Try including <time.h>.  If you want to know why, don't ask me.  It's
a stupid POSIXism, see /usr/include/linux/posix_types.h.  (FD_SETSIZE
is the number of file descriptors that can be open at one time,
process-wide, as you'll see if you read that file.)  Why kterm needs
to know such a thing, I don't really understand (it's not in
kterm-6.2.0 and I don't have the kterm212 source); Breen may be
checking for an error condition if kterm tries to open too many files.
