I identified the the piece of code responsible causing the error. It 
happens in the  _gpgme_io_set_close_notify method in posix-io.c

I'm getting a fd > 256 which seams to be the maximum of fds gpgme can 
handle. It might be some sort of design-issue in my software causing so 
many open fds, but I'd still like to overcome this fd limitation. As far 
as I can see, gpgme is using the fd as index for the notify_table. So 
could I just increase the size of the notify_table without breaking things?
