> After fixing JIRA#3888 suddenly SelectorTest.test_wakeup() started to
> fail. So fixed 3888 has discovered another issue with selector.
> As it turned out java.nio.channels.Selector.select([long timeout])
> wakes up and throws SocketException when some thread dies. Actually it
> is all connected with the underlying linux function
>     int  select(int  n,  fd_set  *readfds,  fd_set  *writefds,
>                 fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout)
> and SIGUSR2 which is used in DRLVM threading subsystem (any other
> threading event which sends SIGUSR2 can cause the problem with
> select()).
> AFAIK some time ago we had the same problem with SIGUSR2 and this
> issue has been easily resolved with SA_RESTART. Unfortunately in case
> of select() it is not applicable since SA_RESTART functionality in
> select() is "implementation-dependent". Quote:
>        int select(int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds,
>                   fd_set *errorfds, struct timeval *timeout);
>        ...
>        ERRORS
>            Under the following conditions, select() fails and sets
>            errno to:
>        ...
>            [EINTR]
>                The select() function was interrupted before any of the
>                selected events occurred and before the timeout
>                interval expired. If SA_RESTART has been set for the
>                interrupting signal, it is implementation-dependent
>                whether select() restarts or returns with [EINTR].
>       
>        http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/select.html
> As it turned out "SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9" on my box does not
> support SA_RESTART functionality. So I handled it with cycle. And
> therefore some timeout mathematics comes into play here as well.
> So I believe the code-fix and test-fix for this JIRA and code-fix for
> JIRA #3888 should be committed together since all this stuff intertwined.
