In general you will find that just because something works on linux
doesn't mean it's correct or portable to other POSIX systems.

What in the world is this 300?  Why not try passing FD_SETSIZE instead? 
In cygwin FD_SETSIZE is 64 by default unless you redefinite it before
including the headers.  You're telling select to examine 301 handles but
you're only passing a data structure that holds 64...
