The select() functionality in the 2.2.9 kernel appears to be broken. If there is nothing readable or writable when select() is initially called, it will not return until it times out. The man page says (and the way it is normally used) that it will return when something int readfds becomes readable or something in writefds becomes writable, and that the timeout is only an upper boundary. Our testing indicates that it will not return until the timeout expires. Anyone know of a workaround? Or has anyone else noticed this problem yet?
