Meh, yes you're right.. it /is/ only sockets that add_fd() supports.
And to think I used to know this :/
Guess I forgot which way around it was when I wrote that example too.
Just checked; definitely the example reacts in a 'chunky' way,
as if it wasn't getting cpu while the 'ping' is waiting.. so
the example is "wrong" too.
I'll revise the example with a comment indicating it *doesn't*
work under Windows, only unix.
And OP should go with Marcel's approach, using threads.
