How does select() handle this problem? It updates the timeout and also
modifies other data.
Could we just check whether the timeout pointer is valid before doing
anything else? Of course we could still fault the page out while
waiting for messages and then fail to fault it back in later, but that
seems like a not-very-likely scenario.
