There are a lot of reports about this issue, but no thorough analysis.
# `elinks`
IRC, unknown channel, unknown date.
<paakku> This is related to ELinks... I've looked at the select()
implementation for the Hurd in glibc and it seems that giving it a short
timeout could cause it not to report that file descriptors are ready.
<paakku> It sends a request to the Mach port of each file descriptor and
then waits for responses from the servers.
<paakku> Even if the file descriptors have data for reading or are ready
for writing, the server processes might not respond immediately.
<paakku> So if I want ELinks to check which file descriptors are ready, how
long should the timeout be in order to ensure that all servers can
respond in time?
<paakku> Or do I just imagine this problem?
