Threads with pipe and select?

Hi. I just found this site and thought I'd ask about a problem I'm trying to figure out.

I have two threads that are connected by a pipe. Thread A can write to the pipe and Thread B can read the data from the pipe. My problem is that when I use select() in Thread B to detect if the pipe is read ready, the select never returns. I'm doing FD_SET(pipe[0], &readfds) to set up for the select. (This code already works with actual separate processes) Is there something special I need to do or don't know about here?

Thanks,
Willi
