Problem possibly introduced since 3.2-RELEASE?  I'm running 3.3-STABLE
right now, as of about Nov 2nd...haven't had a chance to upgrade it
recently, but, from cvs logs, I can't see any changes to
select() since...if select() hasn't changed, is there anything else that
could be affecting this that may have changed?  I'm more then willing to
throw debug code into the server and restart it, if it can help narrow
down the problem...just need an idea of what/where...

Definitely...I make sure I kill off all processes when restarting...

Okay, makes sense ...
