 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...
