On unix, an alternate solution is to use fpSelect (Function
fpSelect(N:cint;readfds,writefds,exceptfds:pfdSet;TimeOut:PTimeVal):cint;
) and specify a time-out value.
I would go for this.
With the very minor caveat that different variants of fpSelect() hide
the OS-specific behavior (whether the time parameter is updated on
return) of the underlying select() call to a varying extent. It's
particularly worth checking code that relies on this on both Linux and
Solaris.
