Beware Windows (and diverse platforms in general): the third argument to select
has a subtly different meaning there. I forget the exact details, just that
Linux tends to use the exceptfds set for fewer things (e.g. when a TCP URG bit
was received?), and Windows tends to signal some connection errors there as
well.
Basically, be extra sure to test on both Windows and Linux :)
