This is used to make sure I/O signals on sockets, ttys, devices and so on are delivered to a particular process. If any of those signals are lost when an event happens around the same time as c/r (for example, more data arriving on a pipe, a device becomes readable/writable, or room becoming available to write, or urgent data on a socket), a process depending on it can get stuck - unless the process knows that c/r happened, so it knows to call select() on all those fds after the c/r. Can you say if the c/r avoids that kind of race condition?
