Currently libmodbus uses select() on Linux. If socket handle is greater than FD_SETSIZE select call causes application crash due to buffer overflow. Proposed pull request uses poll() instead of select() when available as well as fails attempts to call select on sockets >= FD_SETSIZE with EBADF.
Situation with socket handle being greater that FD_SETSIZE is not uncommon for applications that keeps hundreds of connections.
