I'm assuming it is the same for raw sockets. UNPv1 section 6.3 seems to say that select should work for UDP...Part 2 under "Under What Conditions Is a Descriptor Ready" certainly indicates that select should work. Anyway a bug or not, is there a better work around than sleeping? I'm guessing not... Thanks, Andrew
