Set your fd nonblocking if this is a problem...
And how do you think non-blocking works with threads?
What happens if 2 threads issue a select against the same thread and a state transition occurs -- ie. the socket becomes readable or writable -- which thread responds? Answer: they both do.
And what happens when they both try to read from or write to the same socket at the same time?
In a single threaded app, a socket is only readable or only writable at any given moment. Being single-threaded means that the code can only ever try to do one thing or another at a time. Ie. serially bi-directional.
In single threaded apps it doesn't matter. In multi-threaded apps it does.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
