main()
{
        fd = socket(...);
        fd2 = pipe(...);
        [...]

        /* ok all set */
        daemon(0, 0)

        [...]
        FD_SET(fd, &rfd);
        select(...);
        [...]
}

It's a valid and common daemon(3) usage scheme to me, but this code will
break if fd and fd2 get fd between 0 and 2.
