Hm. I'd like to keep the dependency to select.h directly in
scripts_parallel.c, so the ParallelSlotsMax sounds like a good thing
to me so as FD_SETSIZE remains localized. That would give the
attached which does not take care of pgbench, and there is an extra
proposal in another part of this thread. Just looking at it now..

Okay, then the current code is broken in this sense. It was
surprising to not see the buildfarm complain about that though.
