Why the select() with timeout?  You shouldn't have to poll the keyboard...
in Gosling Emacs, the "interesting" events are

	keyboard input
	PTY input (for subprocesses)
	child death

The first two are done with a select call, the third with SIGCHLD; my
hacks to do keystroke echoing just split the single select call into
a select-with-timeout followed by a select-forever....
