Ya know, one day.

Multithreading != select

Or did I miss something?

Quote from splattael :

Yeah ... It's opening a file in a new steam that's handled by a separate thread, and it's results are posted back asynchronously to the host application. So yes, you did miss something.

Oh, I thought stream_select() uses system's select (2) which does not use threads on UN*X but poll (epoll e.g.).

Just nitpicking
