Can you please tell us exactly how we can repeat this problem to see it
happen? (As it does without your patch I mean.) I'm not saying it isn't there,
I just want to fully understand what the bug is and I want to add a test case
for it.

Please post patches done with 'diff -u', it makes the changes both easier to

select() returns 0 because there was a timeout. It means no socket "action"
happened so why would it terminate the loop?
