select() take 100% CPU with cygwin1.5.5-1 in WinXP/Win2000

[zhouxin]

Cygwin implementation of select() take 100% CPU under multi-thread environment sometimes.
I have wrote a short test program(see below test_select.c) that reproduces the bug:
#uname -a 
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 zipxing 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) 2003-09-20 16:31 i686 unknown
#gcc -o tsel test_select.c
#./tsel 5 (5 threads, no problem)
^C
#./tsel 17(17 threads, no problem)
^C
#./tsel 18(18 threads, tsel take 100% cpu!!! It seems that 18 is a critical value.) 

and I compile and execute test_select.c in solaris9,all ok...
Is this a bug of Cygwin implementation of select()?
help,thanks!

//Select timeout...

    }

    if(argc>1) 
        tcount = atoi(argv[1]);
    
    thread_pool_init();

    while(1){
        sleep(10000);
    }
}

That's not allowed.  What is the select call waiting for?  You
didn't bind or connect it.
