It _seems_ like that code uses select() on the descriptor. However,
select() on NetBSD (and I believe all *BSD*) returns
immediatelly for regular files. The semantics for regular files
might be different on Linux or Solaris.

Yes, obviously the author never tried the module on BSD, otherwise
he'd fix it to not depend on this particular feature of select().
