In our child DNS lookup processes, don't bother to use select to watch
the pipe with our parent. These processes don't do anything else, and
they only need to watch one fd, so we can just use a blocking read()
call. I don't think this will negatively affect anything, and it seems
to fix some kind of funky rare race condition where the libpurple
client will block while trying to read() a response from the child.
If you think we should continue using select here, or you notice some
problems with this, please let me know (and maybe even revert this)
