Sure, that this is not a bug in Gforth code?  Select() is pretty
difficult to get right.  E.g. you must read all input data until read()
returns EAGAIN, before calling select().  Failing to do so will make
select() block forever, as select is "edge triggered", and only returns
if the state of "data available" has a transition.

cheers,
