Although your patch works for this case, I'm not sure it's the right
thing to change this in the C code.

Firstly, one could argue that, with the current CVS code, the choice
of behaviours is good: if you _want_ the accept to block all threads,
just call `accept'; if you don't, call `select' first.

Secondly, if we did make this change, we should logically make it in
lots of other places as well: connect, recv! etc.

So I think we at least need a bit of a discussion...
