But why is select blocking if there is something to read on that file 
descriptor?
Normally, select should return immediatly in that case.

That said, it is probably a good idea not to call select at all when it is not 
needed.  But with that patch, you also make calls to write even when it is not 
needed, while before there was only call to write.
