select: reject invalid file descriptors POSIX requires invalid file descriptors to be detected rather than silently ignored. FreeBSD 8.2 detects if fd 0 has been closed and appears in a set while fd 1 is still open, but mistakenly optimizes and refuses to check any fds in the set beyond the maximum open fd. * m4/select.m4 (gl_FUNC_SELECT): Probe for FreeBSD bug. * lib/select.c (rpl_select) [!win32]: Work around it. * modules/select (Depends-on): Add dup2. * doc/posix-functions/select.texi (select): Document this.
