What were you trying to do?
pop up the console with show_console
What's wrong:
I got a wm cursor to place the window. When I clicked, the
console appeared in its usual position (not where I clicked) and printed:
22:02 console: unexpected error from select: 22
22:02 timeval.tv_sec = -1 timeval.tv_usec = 998049 nfds = 4
22 is EINVAL, probably from the bogon value for tv_sec.
In addition, the console window is *still* up, long after the 10
second timeout in my resources.
What should have happened:
It shouldn't have given select a bogon timeout.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
select(2)
