M2Crypto: select() behaves weird on SSL sockets

[Ng Pheng Siong]

Coming late into this thread, good to hear your code now works. ;-)

Just wondering: Does your code look contrived structured the way you have?
IOW, will any (simple) change(s) to M2Crypto's interfaces make it more
natural to express what you wish in this case?

Thanks. Cheers.

(I'm working hard on my start-up. Very little time for M2Crypto, alas.
Don't even have time to read mail and Usenet...)
