Ok, i've dug deeper, and i'm stumped. It seems the select on the file descriptor for the stream
in Read() never returns 1. So to all intents and purposes it never performs a read from /dev/video0

I have set O_NOBLOCK in the open() to ensure the select has something to listen for, but even
then it does not ever return 1. So removing the whole while loop in Read() and it worked.

for the moment i'm using it without the select, but if it works for some and not for others,
then maybee the problem is not the select()?

anybody have any clues?
