[comp.sys.hp] select

We are running GNUE Emacs 18.55 with X11 on our HP9000/300 and 800
machines.  We have noticed a problem on the 800 (HP-UX 3.1).  If the
emacs user uses the "Close" menu button on his/her emacs X11 hpwm
window the 800 hangs and starts to use up enormous amounts of CPU
cylces.  We think it is due to a select() call in GNU Emacs which
causes the program to expect more data when there really is no more to get.

The same operation on the 300 (HP-UX 6.5) works as expected.

Any hints would be appreciated.
