Sorry, apparently I forgot to include the actual content:. ;)

Socket.select is an ancient (in D terms) API; you just need to 
handle the returned error code manually and retry if the errno is 
actually EINTR resp. its WinSock equivalent.

See 
https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/d/src/thrift/server/transport/socket.d#L144 
for a production-tested implementation. When I wrote that code, 
it wasn't possible to do this in a platform-independent way using 
std.socket (see 
https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/d/src/thrift/internal/socket.d 
for the used constants), and I don't think it is now either.
