Thanks for the testing.  Can you please feed the output through (eg)
src/tools/tools/ministat.

Having a very large number of selected FDs return ready is unrealistic
- I can't think of any real-world situation where this would occur.  A
more realistic situation would look like a Poisson distribution with a
small lambda (probably 1).  Writing a test suite for this is probably
significantly more effort than your selt.c
