Except for a mention at the end of the BUGS section, nowhere in the
man page is it stated that you must
#include <sys/types.h> 
for the fd_set typedef and FD_* macro declarations. Even the BUGS
mention only refers to an uncommon occurrance. The SYNOPSIS does say
to #include <sys/time.h>, so the other #include should be there as
well.

Given that the man page claims a last change time of May 15, 1986,
this probably goes back to Berkeley.
