[Bug libgcj/23682] gnu.java.nio.SelectorImpl.select(long) throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

I have a patch I'm testing.

This code in classpath looks quite bad :(
I fixed this problem by adding synchronization.
However, really very little synchronization should be needed.
Instead we could be doing something like building a data structure
for poll() ahead of time and tracking changes to the selection
keys more directly; I think this would yield better performance.
Right now we do multiple allocations for every select operation.

Also I suspect that using select(2) instead of poll(2) is bad
for applications making large numbers of connections.  select
has built-in limits on the the number of file descriptors it can use.

Finally. our code to select without waiting actually will wait
for up to 1ms.  This is fixable as well, it looks like the original
author just did it the "simple" way for convenience of writing a
single native method.
