[comp.unix.sysv386] X386 under AT&T UNIX SYSTEM V Release 3.2.2

Hi, 

Our newsfeed had been dead for more than one week since last time I
posted a note about installing Thomas Roell's X386 under AT&T UNIX
System V/386 Release 3.2.2. The problem about the frozen server seemed
to be caused by the emulation of select(). It doesn't work very well
under AT&T UNIX. Poll() used to emulate select() only supports
STREAMS in AT&T UNIX and seems not to return under some circumstances.
Does anyone know if there is any good emulation of BSD select() for
SVR3 without using pull() in PD?

Thanks for any help.
