You say there we need to "make sure that maxfd is bigger than -1". But in the code you intentionally do not in order to keep it working. What about updating all the comments like following?

/* In a real-world program you OF COURSE check the return code of the function
  calls.  On success, the value of maxfd is guaranteed to be greater or equal
  than than -1.  We call select(maxfd + 1, ...), specially in case of

  sleep. */

Yes I think that is a good idea. That seems like a better comment to use so that it is made more obvious what happens in the -1 case.
