This looks like the problem to me.
The select() manpage is a little confusing - that first parameter is the
number of bits in the mask that get inspected, not the number of
active fds ('1' bits). See selscan() in /sys/kern/sys_generic.c
So unless your FD happens to be zero, this call isn't going to do
anything useful.
