Apparently, to do this, one must also modify kdc/network.c to have
the same FD_SETSIZE because it calls krb5int_cm_call_select().
This is a little counter-intuitive as the function is defined in
a file called sendto_kdc.c and is marked internal.

A patch is attached.  This patch is suboptimal because one should
either remove the dependency on krb5int_cm_call_select() or centrally
define the FD_SETSIZE in another header which is included quite
early.  cm.h is not included early enough and putting this sort of
logic in there does not work.
