Closer inspection..

BackupPC does finally "rest" at ..

select(my $rout = $FDread, undef, $ein, $timeout);

and doing some googling I found..

https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/6900

Where someone is talking about a bug in the select implementation on ar7xx 
platforms (same as used by my router).  The last note mentions something about 
big endian but I'm not sure what that's suppose to mean.
