Ick. It was a disaster.... and the feature is overrated anyway. I
was actually heavily involved with linux back in those days and I used
this select() feature myself, but the disadvantages outweighed the
advantages by an order of magnitude. It really isn't all that expensive
to do a separate gettimeofday() system call.
