Subject: select() not respecting the timeout parameter?

Hello,

While working on EMA (the service that enrolls a device into BDS) I noticed that a select.select() call from python 
(which maps into regular C select() Unix/Posix API) does not respect the timeout.

I give it a timeout of 300 (5 min) but it timeouts semi-randomly, sometimes after 8 min, sometimes after 9 or 6 or 5 or 
10... and the consequence of that was promptly reported back to me as a gating issue.

For the time being, I reworked it as a loop with timeout of 0 at select() and a call to time.sleep(), but, does anyone 
have any idea what's going on here?
