Description

Hi,

in recent HEAD (as of Sun Aug 8) lang/guile hangs in select.
To reproduce install lang/guile as binary package and run it without
arguments. Normally one should see an interactive prompt.
Compiling it from source fails with a similar problem (lt-guile hangs
in select during the build process).

I did some poking here and it looks like our select is doing the right thing, so
I will have to dive the guile source and see what it is trying to do.

Thanks for looking into this! I also browsed the guile sources a bit
and they are using a pipe to wakeup one thread hanging in select()
from another thread by sending 1 byte.
But I tried that in a simple test program and it works ok - must be
something different...

PS: I managed to do my tax stuff by building an old kernel :-)
