Hi Neil,

We've been having problems with this select patch change.

Specifically -- previously, when a ptrace attach was done to a task
blocked in a select() call and that task had a timeout value,
the task would restart the select() call with an updated timeout value.

With this patch in place, the task now instead returns EINTR.

A test that shows this issue is provided below.

We also confirmed that attaching to a program sitting
in select() with gdb makes the select get an EINTR, so this
behavior also shows up in gdb.

Thank you for your considerations in this matter.
