Problem: Compiling GNU Emacs (18.55) with HAVE_SELECT set on a system
	which uses something other (larger) than (int) for
	the select arguments generates an infinite loop of beeping
	and select() error messages.

Repeat: Do so on SysV with WIN/TCP v3.1 (and later).

Fix: Don't have one handy since removing HAVE_SELECT (and thus bringing
	in the select() emulator in sysdep.c) works fine.  I have more
	important fish to fry right now than fix bugs in emacs v18
	code when v19 (and 18.56) is due to be released soon-ish.
