Dear Maintainer,
                        rc = select(rtc_fd + 1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &tv);
                        ret = 1;
                        if (rc == -1)
warn(_("select() to %s to wait for clock tick failed"),
                                     rtc_dev_name);
                        else if (rc == 0 && debug)
printf(_("select() to %s to wait for clock tick timed out"),
                                     rtc_dev_name);
                        else
                                ret = 0;

When 'select' times out and returns 0, synchronize_to_clock_tick_rtc returns either 1 or 0, depnding on whether the -D option (debug) was used. This causes hwclock -r to succeed and hwclock -r -D to return an error. In one case, it just fails, in the other, the values are off by the timeout period (10 seconds, in this version).
