<p>Hi Holger, first I don’t do anything. This code is historical. I’m simply trying to understand it and fix it. Second, the reason it’s 1 is that it’s testing for writability of a single file descriptor which happens to be that of a socket.</p>

<p>The commit that replaced <code>select(s+1,</code> with <code>select(1</code> seemed to have your name associated with it. I am sorry if I wrongly attributed this change to you. Calling the parameter "nfds" in the manpage is misleading and I wanted to probe if it was intentional that we set the "highest fd set in the fdset" to 0 (e.g. stdin) while the debug output showed fd numbers such as 18, 19.</p>
<p>But great that we resolved that.</p>
