Yes that is true.

The only workable test I can think of is test the OS version.  If you open
a socket and try and use read/write on it, the results are unpredicatable.

I know for a fact that any version of BeOS >=4.5 sockets are not
file descriptors.

ac/unistd.h   servers/slapd/daemon.c is the only place I can find calling
it.  I'll look at writing an autoconf test for it.
