Re: Bug #13566: BUG FIX? for ext/sockets

Even better. How about making the usec parameter optional in socket_select(), and if the sec parameter is NULL, pass NULL to select() instead of tv? That would make the syntax of select() with a NULL timeout pretty much the same as socket_select() with a NULL timeout, minus the first maxfd parameter in select() of course.
