A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The documentation for Selector describes precisely when a call to select() will return, i.e. "at least one channel is selected, this selector's wakeup method is invoked, or the current thread is interrupted, whichever comes first."
I found two scenario where select() returns 0 without blocking, forever:
- When a channel registers with the Selector with an interest set of 0.
- When a socket channel that had not completed the connection process (invoking finishConnect until returning true) is registered with READ/WRITE interest set without CONNECT.

This behaviour is not consistent with the doc, maybe it can be considered a bug, or maybe the doc should change.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
