I just realized this is not correct.  _fdmap is a dictionary, and it
needs to be a list of FDs.  _fdmap probably contains the list of read
FDs, write FDs, and other FDs -- exactly the way select.select wants
them -- but you'll have to look inside _PrepareSockets to know how to
pull out the three individual lists.

OK, after looking at the source, I think the list of fds is actually the
keys of the dictionary, so we need two small changes:

   def Run( self ):
        self._fdmap = {}
        self._PrepareSockets()
        while 1:
            fdi = select.select( self._fdmap.keys(), [], [] )[0]
            if fdi:
                self._ProcessInput( self._fdmap[fdi[0]] )
            else:
                logger.error( "select returned empty." )
