Hi!

According to the following code fragment from tcl test suite:

if {[info commands testfilewait] != ""} {
    test event-13.8 {Tcl_WaitForFile procedure, waiting indefinitely} unixOnly {
	set f [open "|sleep 2" r]
	set result ""
	lappend result [testfilewait $f readable 100]
	lappend result [testfilewait $f readable -1]
	close $f
	set result
    } {{} readable}
}


select() call should mark file descriptor as readable on EOF contition, isn't it?
