This is probably totally unrelated, but I saw a "hang" in Emacs for the
first time in weeks.  shr was downloading an image over https, and Emacs
became unresponsive.  strace showed the following:

[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})
[pid 12890] pselect6(39, [3 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 38], [], NULL, {0, 0}, {NULL, 8}) = 2 (in [18 19], left {0, 0})

This went on for perhaps 30 seconds?  (Hm.  Which is what I have
`url-queue-timeout' set to...  Hm...) Then it stopped without
downloading the image.

Now, the pselect6 call has a timeout of {0, 0}?  If I'm reading the man
page right.

I think it's probably this code?

      /* If status of something has changed, and no input is
	 available, notify the user of the change right away.  After
	 this explicit check, we'll let the SIGCHLD handler zap
	 timeout to get our attention.  */
      if (update_tick != process_tick)
	{
	  fd_set Atemp;
	  fd_set Ctemp;

          if (kbd_on_hold_p ())
            FD_ZERO (&Atemp);
          else
            Atemp = input_wait_mask;
	  Ctemp = write_mask;

	  timeout = make_timespec (0, 0);
	  if ((pselect (max (max_process_desc, max_input_desc) + 1,
			&Atemp,
#ifdef NON_BLOCKING_CONNECT
			(num_pending_connects > 0 ? &Ctemp : NULL),
#else
			NULL,
#endif
			NULL, &timeout, NULL)
	       <= 0))

I'm not quite sure what it's trying to do...  Hm...
