? That's not a select() problem: that's an asyncore problem. I'm just saying that asyncore should handle this event in some other way than raising a not well defined "ValueError". I've discovered this problem accidentally by writing a small test script but personally I've never seen a paper describing it. Not handling such a problem just means that an asyncore based server is vulnerable to DoS attacks and I believe that a lot of servers out there didn't used a try/except statement around "asyncore.loop()". imho, such a problem should merit some attention.
