The select call seems to be asking for a timeout of 1 microsecond and the difference between the gettimeofday() calls is 10000 microseconds or 10 milliseconds or 1/100 of a second or 1 jiffie. Since the requested timeout gets rounded up to the next jiffie this is as expected. It looks like an application error. At least, it lost its marbles before this point :-).
