That's Cygwin's select, it shouldn't have any bearing on what a non-Cygwin
process sees.

What I'm not getting is why ./something < /dev/null should be any
different than doing in CMD something < NUL - I would hope there's not a
pipe to Cygwin to deal with /dev/null but rather just a handle to
Windows' NUL device...
