"Any two of the parameters, readfds, writefds, or exceptfds, can be given as null. At least one must be non-null, and any non-null descriptor set must contain at least one handle to a socket." http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/windows/desktop/ms740141(v=vs.85).aspx When using select(), cURL doesn't adhere to this (WinSock-specific) rule, and can ask to monitor empty fd_sets, which leads to select() returning WSAEINVAL (i.e. EINVAL) and connections failing in mysterious ways as a result (at least when using the curl_multi_socket_action() interface).
