Does that include if it is included as pthread.h and linked against -lpthread

Version in header is: "1.4.1 (27-Jan-2002)"
Pkginfo say: pth-1.4.1

I know for sure that select() is not releasing cpu. I even tried calling 
phtread_select() directly in case it was somehow missed/defined from header file.
