If I'm interpreting this correctly, as well as the select() code, then by removing that block from the "ensure buffered" loop the slot selection loop should work as intended and return if any error or read fds are ready. It is possible that _buf.c:327 may be incorrect for actually handling an error. This requires some additional setup and testing before being able to be proven. I'm also looking for additional APE examples that actually use select() to see if there are any other changes required. So far I've only found Python and X11. If someone has X11 and wants to test this change w/o completely replacing /$objtype/lib/ape/libap.a, drop the edited _buf.c file into your X11 source and add _buf.$O to your mkfile w/ pcc -c -I/sys/src/ape/lib/ap/plan9 -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_PLAN9_SOURCE -D_BSD_EXTENSION _buf.c -jas
