I am curious about the rationalization for using select() instead of
the VTIME/VMIN approach.
In my programming HOWTO, I recommend against using select() solely on
the observation that it is designed to work with sockets() and must be
more complex that is necessary.
I have never read anything about select() and when or how it should be
used.
