In compat/linux32/linux32_uinistd.c: linux32_select1, we have

	} else {
		timerclear(&utv);
	}

	error = selcommon(l, retval, nfds,
	        readfds, writefds, exceptfds, &utv, NULL);

which, in my opinon, should rather read

	}

	error = selcommon(l, retval, nfds,
	    readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout? &utv : NULL, NULL);

otherwise passing a NULL pointer as the timeout argument to select()  
will time-out immediately instead of waiting indefinetly.

Indeed, I was wondering why the dsmc binary would flood my ktraces  
with select calls on /amd64. On /i386, it behaves correctly.
