Subject:	select call does block unless data arrives at socket (when waiting for serial port and ip socket)

Hi...

I want to use select() to wait for a serial port and a ip socket.
Following problem:
If data arrives the serial port, select() works as aspected and returns 1.
If data arrives the ip socket, select() doesn't return.
If data arrives the serial port and before there was some data at the ip 
socket,
select() returns 2. Both file descriptors are set in "fd_set input", and 
all data
can be read by the next functions.

I am using the cygwin1.dll  version 1.5.11 with Windows XP.
(The same problem with previous versions of cygwin1.dll.)

Thanks for help.
Stefan
