Bu that's clearly what was intended.  The doc string of
x-selection-timeout says:

  A value of 0 means wait as long as necessary.

And with the fix in wait_reading_process_output the original problem
is gone, since we will now loop with short select timeout, waiting for
the selection event.  Which is the intent here, AFAIU.
