Yes, you're right. The page at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/select_2.asp

confirmes that. But when curl_multi_fdset() doesn't FD_SET() any sockets
(and max-fd == -1) the error from select is the same:

<quote>
  Any two of the parameters, readfds, writefds, or exceptfds, can be given as null.
  At least one must be non-null, and any non-null descriptor set must contain
  at least one handle to a socket.
