 Well... actually, it did the job fine. The real problem was that
 nobody apparently looked into it for nearly eight years, so the
 circumstances went away.
 
 Anyway, the most likely cause of EINVAL from select (in fact, the only
 documented cause) is passing a negative timeout, and that issue has
 been fixed.
 
 Shall we close it?
