[Xorp-users] select timeout question

[Ben Greear]

If you pass a timeout of 0 to selector::wait_and_dispatch, it causes select to wait 'forever'.
Is that on purpose or a bug?  If you want to wait for zero time in select, pass a time-val
with all zero values (not 0, which is actually treated as NULL).

     if (timeout == 0 || *timeout == TimeVal::MAXIMUM()) {
	n = ::select(_maxfd + 1,
		     &testfds[SEL_RD_IDX],
		     &testfds[SEL_WR_IDX],
		     &testfds[SEL_EX_IDX],
		     0);
     } else {
