Dear Linux maintainers,

 I'm doing :

      setsockopt(s,  SO_RCVTIMEO, t1 );                  // set time-out
t1 on socket while block receiving on it
      select(,,, &fd_set_including(s), .., &errs, t2);      // block till
receive or time-out  t 2 jointly on a set of sockets

Apparently, I could no find reference on the coupled behavior of the two
above statements in Linux documentation.
As I understand the blocking semantics, I would expect  that  if t1<t2 ,
select should return after t1 with the descriptor 's' in 'errs' if 's' does
not become readable in the t1 interval.

It is not so in life -- select ignores t1 altogether.

Do you have some enlightening knowledge on the matter?
Thanks,
-Shay
