The table containing the saved file-descriptors<->{context, key} couples is
now dynamically malloc'd in the fd server process, hence avoiding
the memory waste which happened in other process when the table was
staticaly reserved in all processes.

This looks good now. Only question is whether you need to worry about
cache-aligning the table, but that's a tuning option that can be considered
later if needed.

Hi Bill, and thanks for your review/comments:
I don't think that there any reason (at this time, at least) to worry about
table alignment: The server is -hopefully- used only at non critical times
(such as init...). It is based on socket communications which will be dead
slow compared to the alignment gain anyway.
So I don't think there is much to gain with the alignment.

Christophe.
