I'll try take this into account when submitting the patches. I do recall there were a couple of cases (like the pipe functionality) where select() will fail is the OS/2 Dos*Pipe API's were used - hence the switch to the Unix code - only in the case of klibc being used. I'm moving house in 10 days - once we're settled in I'll make an effort to clean things up and submit the revised patches. -- Cheers, Paul.
