    It looks reasonable after a quick perusal.

    select()'s timeout argument is always left unchanged.  Linux originally
    adjusted it on return but I was under the impression that they
    reverted back to the BSD method of not touching it.  The changing of
    the timeout argument was a major mistake that linux made in their
    implementation a long, long time ago.
