How much are you going to pay?

 
Nothing, because who knows what libc will do if the descriptor exceeds
that soft limit.

But you said “I'd bet money on the kernel/libc authors taking this into
account when allocating user space descriptor values”. But they didn’t --
otherwise we *would* know what libc would do, and you yourself have
admitted that we don’t. Therefore you have lost the bet. QED.

You can't lose a bet if the race hasn't even started. Someone would need to exam
ine the
libc code and check. I have better things to do.
