As far as I can tell it's a normal condition which should happen alot.

       if (child_terminated && packet_not_very_much_data_to_write())
		if (max_time_milliseconds == 0)
			max_time_milliseconds = 100;

	if (max_time_milliseconds == 0)
		tvp = NULL;
	else {
		tv.tv_sec = max_time_milliseconds / 1000;
		tv.tv_usec = 1000 * (max_time_milliseconds % 1000);
		tvp = &tv;
	}
	if (tvp!=NULL)
		debug("tvp!=NULL kid %d mili %d", child_terminated, max_time_milliseconds);

	/* Wait for something to happen, or the timeout to expire. */
	ret = select(max_fd + 1, readset, writeset, NULL, tvp);
