Why?  If you are doing sequential, non multi-plexed, reads why do poll or
select?  Sitting in read is more optimal and the read should return
either data or an error.  The flaw in recv is that it returns a non-error
non-data status.  Perhaps it would be better to switch to using read()
instead of recv?
