Hello Andreas,
 It seems like a strange error. select() fails for some reason in these
systems in client side. Could you apply the two patches below (the
difference is that the print the errno) and re-run the test with -v?
This would provide an idea of why select fails there. Is there something
particular about these systems? Are they busy, have some particular
linux kernel or libc version?
