Why would it be indented for you if you didn't experience the problem that
this thread discusses or you have anything to contribute with in the subject?

And if you had nothing to say about the existing topic, why on earth did you
quote the entire previous mail? See:

You hijack this thread with an entirely different subject, and that is not
considered nice:

Yes, so don't call select() with a bad input value.
