>Organization:
Cisco Systems
>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #0: Mon Oct 30 07:47:02 EST 2000 i386
>Description:
On receipt of a SIGALRM, select will return 0 when linked to the 
reentrant C library libc_r (for pthreads) and not set errno to EINTR.
When linked to libc (no pthreads) select returns -1 and sets errno
to EINTR.
>How-To-Repeat:
/*
 * testsel.c
 * On receipt of SIGALRM, select() returns:
 *      0 when linked with libc_r
 *      -1 otherwise.
 *
 * Tp compile with threads...
 * cc -o testsel testsel.c -pthread
 *
 * To compile without threads...
 * cc -o testsel testsel.c
