This is a good example of why it's a bad idea to use select on

Instead, use WaitForMultipleObjects.
How are you supposed to write portable code, then?
With WaitForMultipleObjects on Windows, epoll on Linux, kqueue on BSD,
event completion on Solaris, etc...
Sound like more work than using select() everywhere? Yea, a bit. But
not once you abstract it away from your actual application code. After
all, it's not like these *do* different things. They all do the same
thing (basically) - differently.
