xtalk is trying to select the network socket and
stdin, unfortunately windows doesn't support select on a non-socket so it
will fail.  (this is a limitation of select on windows)

If you really need the xtalk script to work on windows then you could
probably re-write it to make it multi threaded (one thread reading from
stdin, the other from the network), or alternativaly use WSAEventSelect and
WaitForMultipleObjects.
