Bugzilla Bug 18  
Using ssh -f -L bombs on SCO Openserver 5.0.5  

------- Additional Comments From Sam Vaughan 2001-12-13 08:17 -------

This seems to be fixed in Openserver 5.0.6. The above command runs as
expected. So something has changed between 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 in the way
select has been implemented in SCO.

The only thing I found, so far, is in patch 5.0.6a for 5.0.6 systems.

"As of Release Supplement 506A for OpenServer Release 5.0.6, a subset of
APIs that use the kernel clock have been modified to utilize the
high-precision clock.  These are:

    select(S) has microsecond precision, adjusted for kernel entry and
exit times, time-sharing delays, and so forth."

Could this be the change? 

I traced the error on 5.0.5 to the select statement in the function
client_wait_until_can_do_something in file clientloop.c 

When I get more time, I will look into this further.
