=Select(2) only guarantees that it will sleep no less than the time
=specified for the timeout. Rounding down will break this.
Where does it guarantee that? Man-pages say, it is guaranteed to sleep
no MORE then the timeout, not less. Is there some other specification,
that's different from the man-pages, or are you talking from the
implementation point of view?
