select() call with specified timeout in argument 5 is not altered on return=
 when time is up.

on windows code below returns: should be 0.0 but we have: 5.0
on linux code below returns: should be 0.0 but we have: 0.0

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  struct timeval tm;
  tm.tv_sec =3D 5;
  tm.tv_usec =3D 0;
  select(1, NULL, NULL, NULL, &tm);
  printf("should be 0.0 but we have: %ld.%ld\n", tm.tv_sec, tm.tv_usec);
}
