No, that's not true.  By default, the 'timeout' parameter to the 
"select()" call will be the time until the next 'delayed task' comes 
due.  Note the statement:
	DelayInterval const& timeToDelay = fDelayQueue.timeToNextAlarm();

If your current "select()" function is broken, then you will either 
need to fix it (so that it has the standard semantics expected for 
the "select()" function), or else write a new event loop - i.e., your 
own subclass ot "TaskScheduler", and use that instead of 
"BasicTaskScheduler".
