I did not understand the current problem, however, just giving my 2c blindly so...: 1. Internet sockets using tcp protocol is the same as using select with a timeout since this is what the tcp protocol is doing. Timeouts. 2. Can't all this discussion be solved by simply reading the /proc directory as a failsafe measure for whatever is the purpose of finding out if a process is still alive? I.e., do it in tiers, if one thing can give you a straight answer use another one and another and finally use something like the /proc to make sure your process is among the living or a zombie. Just like doing ps (which also uses /proc).
