Thanks for the testing. Can you please feed the output through (eg)
src/tools/tools/ministat.

I will be trying some other select tests.
I suspect with a sparse fd_set, jeffr's results will be better than stock.
We'll see.

Having a very large number of selected FDs return ready is unrealistic
- I can't think of any real-world situation where this would occur. A
more realistic situation would look like a Poisson distribution with a
small lambda (probably 1). Writing a test suite for this is probably
significantly more effort than your selt.c
