Hi Bala,

	select() has been completely re-written in
beta 17 (I know 'cos I wrote it :-). It now blocks
correctly and works on all cases except for the case
where select() is asked to wait simultaneously on
a socket and a HANDLE. I punted this case as it is
*very* hard to solve (I know how to do it I just don't
want to write the code :-) and doesn't seem to affect
any apps I know about. We may just document it as a restriction
in beta 17 and fix it fully later (when I have some free time,
hahahahahaha..... [hysterical laughter trails off 
into sobs...] :-).

Hope this helps,

Jeremy
