+ /* On older FreeBSDs, FD_SETSIZE is unsigned. Cast it to signed int
* in order to switch off the 'comparison between signed and
* unsigned error message
+ * Newer versions of FreeBSD have switched to unsigned int:
+ * https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/12ae7f74a071f0439763986026525094a7032dfd
+ * http://fa.freebsd.cvs-all.narkive.com/bCWNHbaC/svn-commit-r265051-head-sys-sys
+ * So the (int) cast should be removed across the code base once
+ * GHC requires a version of FreeBSD that has that change in it.
