But it's SELECT that is hanging.  Select knows (or ought to know) 
nothing of end-of-line markers.  Readline (when it is called) is doing 
the Right Thing, and my end-of-request test is (currently) reading a 
line less than 3 characters long.  All that is working.  The problem is 
that select is saying there is no input (and therefore hanging) when in 
fact there is input.
