yes, i'm stracing the task that is hung unexpectedly.

i mean, sometimes a TCP connection can get 'unstuck' if you strace a
task - that is because the TCP related syscall the task sits in gets
interrupted. But in this case it's select() which doesnt explicitly take
the socket, doesnt do any tcp_push_pending_frames() processing, etc. -
it just its on the socket waitqueue AFAICS. And that's expected.
