Hi,

I have a problem with many server daemons.
select() might block for a long time if system date changes.

---------
Example :
at 10h00am
I call select() with a timeout argument set to 2min,

at 10h01am, time changes to 09h59am.

select() returns at 10h02am, it has blocked during 5 minutes.
---------

	That is a problem when summer time changes occurs, select() 
	might block for an hour.

	Is this a known problem ? 
	Is there a way that select() acts differently ?

Thanks for your answers,
Jeremy D'Hoinne
