FreeBSD:
=> => 	If timeout is a non-nil  pointer, it specifies a maximum
=> => 	interval to wait for the selection to complete.

Solaris:
=> 	If timeout is not a NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum
=> 	interval to wait for the selection to complete.

Linux:
=> 	timeout is an upper bound  on the amount of time elapsed
=> 	before select returns.

Irix (http://reality.sgi.com/cgi-bin/getman/?select):
	If timeout is a non-zero pointer, it specifies a maximum
	interval to wait for the selection to complete.

BSDI (http://www.bsdi.com/bsdi-man?proto=1.1&apropos=0&msection=2&query=select):
	If timeout is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum
	interval to wait for the selection to complete.

Perl 5.004 (http://man.cs.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/man?OS=alpha&command=select):
	TIMEOUT is  the maximum  amount of  time to  wait before
	returning an empty list.

It seems, all of the documentation (including the FreeBSD's) agrees. The
FreeBSD's implementation disagrees...
