The problem being if the alarm goes off when select() is scanning the
FD_SET, select is interruped with the following error:
Error on select(): Interrupted system call
Ideally, when the alarm goes off, I would still want select() to continue
scanning the FD_SET and the "main loop" to continue ( select() is inside
the main loop ). Any suggestions to achieving achieving this is
appreicated.
