Can I assume that FD_Set@ is a pointer that points to FDes?  And that
there isn't any code that could change that?

I'd also recommend doing an FDZero each time through the loop, and
then setting each descriptor explicitly to make sure they're all set
correctly.

If you're still having trouble after that, try (for debugging only)
hex dumping the contents of your FDes data somewhere that you can manually
check that the correct descriptors are set before & after calling select,
since that seems to be the likely source of a problem.

As an aside, I generally find it better to rely on the values returned
from FDIsSet rather than the return value from select(), other than for
detecting actual errors while select() is running, that is.
