We have had some problems here which I only vaguely know about. The
problems seems to be that all 3 fdsets are empty which is an error on
windows, but not an error on unix.

This seems to occur while doing DNS. cURL+multi seems to work fine if you
undefine USE_THREADING_GETHOSTBYNAME (which is how we are using it right now).

Not entirely unused!
