select appears to throw an EINTR signal when it is unsuccessful.

In socket.cpp, the EINTR case is lumped together with the other error cases - it really should be handled differently (see http://osdir.com/ml/c-programming/2002-04/msg00039.html).

Try going to line 328, and changing the line from if(result == 0){ to if (result == 0 || result == EINTR){, run make in the toplevel directory, and see if that changes anything.

I've got one less line at the end. The line "11: Select failed: Interrupted system call" is no longer in the log. I've still got the line after it though: "12: Select failed: Interrupted system call"

Fixed it. Your suggestion was correct except that I had to check if errno == EINTR, not result (as per http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/sasc/doc750/html/lr2/select.htm in the CAUTION section).

So the fix is to change line 328 to if(result == 0 || errno == EINTR){

Fixed in d834d6e.
