Problem:

Defect code :  2. Omission

select() is specified as a cancelation point, but the closely
related interface pselect() is not.  This seems counterintuitive,
and makes the obvious implementation of pselect (as a wrapper
around select) impossible.

Action:

Add pselect() to the list of cancelation points.
