Comment:

 Ok, the "Y" change wasn't needed but I added back the call to select(),
 which was needed so that our DNS children expire after a fixed amount of
 time.  I had experienced the race condition before all these changes, and
 I know it didn't happen after I removed the 'Y' code and the select()
 code.  I don't know whether it will happen again now that the select()
 code is back in there.  I'll test it soon... for some reason "mtn pull"
 isn't grabbing the change that I just made.
