Thanks for all the useful suggestions. I'm on the ticket bandwagon at 
last.

I realise that the code I posted was a bit rough (although I missed the 
race, which is definitely there). It was a heavily cut-down version of 
something a lot larger that does indeed use select, uses non-blocking I/
O, retries connection attempts, and even uses Fibers. What I wanted was a 
small and simple test case to attach to the ticket, not something serious.
