First of all, the "nil, nil, timeout" is a pretty "normal" way to invoke a 
sub-second sleep on *ix platforms, and this is even mentioned in the 
documentation.

To your question, yes, this bug triggered on a single threaded select based 
server of mine (I was wondering about the high CPU usage). To make it easier 
to ask the question, I tried to come up with a minimal case to share with 
other people, and I guess I found a minimal test case for looking into this 
bug or having other prove me wrong (i.e. something else is wrong at my end).
