I'm not an expert on this terminology but don't you have that backwards? Assume we're using select() for a second. If you ask select() "is this FD ready" several times in a row without doing something to the FD it will answer yes every time once the FD is ready. IIUC that's what level-triggered means, and that's what causes the bug.
