--------
This problem is probably caused when select() passes the number of file
descriptors (the first arg) larger than FD_SETSIZE. This causes select()
to return EINVAL. The solution is either to limit the number of file
descriptors your process can use to 256 or you can fix fd_init() in
pthread/fd.c to check dtablesize against FD_SETSIZE.
< /* select() can only handle FD_SETSIZE descriptors, so our inner loop will
< * break if dtablesize is higher than that. This should be removed if and
< * when the inner loop is rewritten to use poll(). */
< if (dtablesize > FD_SETSIZE) {
< dtablesize = FD_SETSIZE;
---

> dtablesize = 1024;
