Er - I just realized - I think it's even worse than that.  If the user
specifies a flushtime of 0 (which is perfectly legal according to the
man page, and I don't think we want to change that,) tvp is a NULL
pointer rather than a pointer to our timeout.  Which means our signal
handler doesn't have any effect at all on select(), because it's
changing a timeout that isn't used :)

Thanks for making me think about it - I'll rewrite it, probably using
your suggestion #1 instead.
