unexpected EOF in read_timeout (was Re[2]: [Fwd: Re: meaning of "IO Error: skipping the delete...."]])

[Dave Dykstra]

I'm not sure whether the SELECT_TIMEOUT issue is relevant to this thread or
another one, but it's good to know that you haven't seen the problem since
2.5.0 where Tridge put in a fix.  It is still waking up from select every
60 seconds, but it doesn't exit now if --timeout is 0.  I'm not sure why it
bothers wake up, but it goes to select again.
