Btw, I also stumbled over these ancient bug-reports: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18909 http://gnats.netbsd.org/11287 So it seems that BSD-ish systems have (or had?) this arbitrary 1e8 second limit in combination with the questionable EINVAL response which seems in conflict with the POSIX specification. I'm wondering if there's already an Autoconf test somewhere we could steal for detecting this peculiarity of select() on BSD systems...
