Did you notice how fast these packets arrive? If select is blocking
until timeout, they should come every second. If select returns whenever
a packet arrives, they should come every 1/2 second. What is it in your
system? As I said, on Linux and on Mac OS X, this works, and the packet
messages come every 1/2 second.
