Keegan: Can you weigh in here on whether we depend on pselect()'s<br>

If the code in the client or the server had called select with an<br>
infinite timeout, then I would have worried a bit more.<br>
<br>
A correct but more portable alternative would be the "self-pipe" trick.<br>

Mosh actually used to do exactly that, but then we had to rip the code out because of Debian politics. (We used the implementation from libstddjb, and Debian insisted that we couldn't duplicate code from another package - even though we needed the code to be built in a different way.)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
