Comment (by bos):
I've attached the current working patch to this ticket. It applies cleanly
against both base 4.2.0.0 (as used in GHC 6.12.1) and the version used by
HEAD.
Simon, I think this patch is worth applying on top of base-4.2.0.0 as is,
since it removes that pesky dependency on select. This would be a nice
fix to have in GHC 6.12.2.
For more substantial changes (use of epoll or kqueue), the amount of work
involved is much higher.
