Dear forum members!

I'm writing a multithreaded rpc program. The following is a part of my
program that causes a error:

  fd_set readfds;
  int size = getdtablesize ( );

  while ( 1 )
  {
    readfds = svc_fdset;

    switch ( select ( size, &readfds, NULL, NULL, NULL ) )
    {
      case -1:
        if ( errno == EINTR )
          continue;
        else ...
      break;
      case 0:
        continue;
      break;
    };
  };

"select" call here causes the following error: "Bad file descriptor". This
example was taken from "Power programming with RPC" by John Bloomer.

I tried to understand what svc_fdset consits of:
sizeof ( svc_fdset ) == 2

Thus fd_set.fd_bits array has two elements:
sprintf ( "%ld %ld\n", svc_fdset.fds_bits [ 0 ], svc_fdset.fds_bits [ 1 ] )
== "8 0"

But somehow:
for (i=0;i<64;i++) FD_SET (i, svc_fdset) == 1

Could anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Lev.
