hanging in select()

Hello,
I'm using libwww in Tru64 Unix.  My application is multi-threaded.  One of
the threads sends http Post requests to another server.  After so many
requests, the thread that calls libwww hangs in select().  Below is the
stack trace after the thread has been idle for about 2 hours:

I set the EventTimeout to 120000  (2 minutes).

Any help will be appreciated.  
Thank you very much.
