If you are talking about the error in select: "Interrupted System call", 
it is normal. It occurs because signals, in this case SIGALRM, cause 
select to break, and it returns -1. We simple call select again, and its 
not a problem. One could use pselect() to mask certain signals but often 
those signals are necessary and cannot be masked.

It still works with versions up to 2.4.18 only. I have'nt spent too much
time on it, but could'nt figure out what has changed in 2.4.19 thats
causing a panic. I'll have to use uml to complete the debugging..
