If you had bothered to ask me, I could have told you that the answer is 
rather simple: if you have problems with select, don't use it.
drivers/media/ is abusing select quite heavily, so it's no surprise it's 
getting out of control, the patch below gets rid of select in the tuners 
directory, others should be done in a similiar way.
One could now argue that this sort of thing could be done simpler, then 
I'll agree, but select isn't the answer.

bye, Roman
