I'm a little bit confused because the 1.24 code still uses read() and can block, while the Changelog says: | 2008-02-01 James R. Van Zandt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | * adjtimex.c: (cmos_read_time): use select() to avoid blocking even | if /dev/rtc never becomes readable. And when read() alarms or select() timeouts, the fallback should better be the busywait_second_change() method, purely using the /dev/rtc device driver. The port I/O method cannot be used on some machines. The install blocking grave bug #477637 is the same as this one: CCing Julian. Thank you for the report.
