Yes, my experience as well.

I believe the problem lies in needing to use the latest
Win32 IO stuff as represented by Dave Gravereaux's iocpsock:
	http://wiki.tcl.tk/11304

The stuff currently used by the core relies partly on
Keuchel's celib routines, which is where the select error
comes from.  We need to go "fully native" with the socket
code that the Win/CE Tcl core uses.  This would all be
isolated to win/tclWinSock.c.
