This pretty much has to be a bug somewhere in your code, since the
semantics are indeed that if select() shows activity on a listen socket,
then a single call to accept will retrieve a new connection from it.
A zillion servers out there rely on exactly this ...

You should use a debugger such as gdb to verify that select() really is
showing that the descriptor you're passing to accept() has activity.
