This is not correct.  The array is of size nfds.  ready is
just the number of entries in the array that have been changed,
but there's no information about the order in which they'll
appear.

If you compile the program with the current code, you'll be
able to verify that it works.  But with this patch, I believe
it will stop working.

Thanks,
Alex
