[ECOS] Select and Sockets

[Andy Atkinson]

Hi,

I am a bit baffled by what I am seeing with regards using select on a 
socket.

I am using a socket stream to download a file from a remote server. To 
implement a timeout for reading I am using select on the socket 
descriptor. All is going well (downloading lots of data) when suddenly 
select starts telling me that their is data to read on the socket, but a 
call to ioctl with FIONREAD tells me that there is in fact no data 
available for reading. Can anyone please explain why this is so?

Regards

Andy Atkinson.
