You can't use file-select for this purpose, because it also will jam all "threads". Having a timeout of 0 will avoid that but at the expense of a busy wait. You can mitigate that by including thread-yield! in the busy loop, but the real answer is to use thread-wait-for-i/o!. That does what you want.
