[PATCH] select: don't overflow if (SELECT_STACK_ALLOC % sizeof(long) != 0)
If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[] would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code. What if later someone decides to change SELECT_STACK_ALLOC to 300?
