[torquedev] [Bug 76] New: blocking read does not time out using signal handler

[Michael Barnes]

Isn't this actually due to TORQUE not having non-blocking sockets
which is a global problem and not isolated to this routine?

Forgive me if I didn't hear a resolution on this issue.

A week or two ago someone found in ./lib/Libifl/nonblock.c where the
fcntl(fd,F_SETFL,flags) where flags included the bit to set
the file descriptor to being non-blocking was commented out, and
TORQUE hasn't done non-blocking reads in years.  AFAIK, the non-blocking
patches came from OSC back in the OpenPBS days.
