[Live-devel] exit(0) in a library?

Basically, because I wasn't sure what else to do.  If "select()" 
returns unexpectedly, then I didn't want to just ignore it, because - 
depending on the circumstances - it may end up doing the same thing 
every subsequent time in the event loop - leading to an infinite CPU loop.

As you noted, you can - if you wish - define your own subclass of 
"BasicTaskScheduler0" that redefines the "SingleStep()" routine to 
treat unexpected returns from "select()" as being a new type of 'event'.
