Make sure to set the maxwait before each select call

On linux at least select will update the timeout value if it returns
before the timeout is up.

It seems that simply moving the ````maxwait.tv_usec=10000;```` statement inside the ````while(1)```` loop significantly reduced CPU usage.  We'll keep the timeout at 10 msec until the delay becomes noticable, which so far isn't.
