In one of my cases where I saved some strace output, it seems to show
what you suggest:
select(4, [3], [], [], {18446744073709203787, 668311}) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
select(4, [3], [], [], {18446744073709203787, 668293}) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
select(4, [3], [], [], {18446744073709203787, 668275}) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
select(4, [3], [], [], {18446744073709203787, 668255}) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
select(4, [3], [], [], {18446744073709203787, 668237}) = -1 EINVAL
