This one is actually easy to explain.  Many versions of the network
demos do not include a line like this to make sure there are enough
file descriptors configured for more than stdin, out, and error.

#define CONFIGURE_LIBIO_MAXIMUM_FILE_DESCRIPTORS 20

The default number is 3 so 20 should be more than enough for the
network demos.

Which version of the network demos are you using?

This is simply a configuration problem.
