When you say you are delaying between checks, are you doing this:
while (TRUE) {
select(n, &readfds, NULL, NULL, 0.5);
}
or
while (TRUE) {
select(n, &readfds, NULL, NULL, 0);
sleep 0.5;
}
If you use the second alogorithm, you'll probably never register a
connection.

Well, I'm using 2.0.38, and I've just written a tiny HTTP interface for a
daemon, based on about an hour of reading up on sockets - so my advice may
not be the best you can get... :)
