Andreas,

I cannot reproduce this problem.  On M5485EVB board with 2.6.25 kernel I 
get:

[m5485 tmp]$ ./a.out
before select_fd=67 | nfds=68 | sec = 5 | usec = 0
after select_fd=67 | nfds=68 | sec = 0 | usec = 0 | retval = 0
before select_fd=67 | nfds=68 | sec = 5 | usec = 0
< a minute passes by >
[m5485 tmp]$

Can there be a problem in your kernel?
