Why do you say that? I have never known of such behavior. Linux does not
do it. FreeBSD does not do it. Those are the systems that it's handy for
me to check right now, but I don't know of any reason to ever have
suspected such a behavior. There is nowadays some standard that specifies
select, though I only have 1003.1-1996 (which does not). I would be
surprised if it required, or even allowed, such an error diagnosis
given the state of extant systems.
