Avoid possible SEGVs in select() (in unit tests)

Avoid possible SEGVs in select() (in unit tests)

Per the POSIX definition of select():

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/functions/pselect.html

"Upon successful completion, the select() function may modify the object
pointed to by the timout argument."

If "struct timeval" pointer is a "static const", it could potentially
be allocated in a RO text segment.  The kernel would then try to copy
back the modified value (with the time remaining) into a read-only
address and SEGV.
