I have a simple piece of code that works fine for most flavors of UNIX. 
It basically uses select to wait for input either from STDIN or from a
UDP socket.  When I try to run on NT, compiled using beta 17 of gnu-win
tools, I have the following results.  The select immediately returns
(-1).  If I modify the code to only select from the UDP socket (and not
STDIN), it works fine.  For some reason, the select on STDIN always
immediately returns (-1).

Anybody have any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.
