Does select() notify the application of FIN from the other side? If not, that would explain things, it wouldn't be reasonable for httpd to manually try and receive from all sockets in keepalive to see whether it needs to close the socket, since it will only wait KeepAliveTimeout (default 15s) before it closes them anyway.
