Might I suggest using the MessageQue to implement that.

There could be a select call that takes a message que.  When the event 
is triggered a message is posted to the que with the callback address.

Another thread then can wait on the message que and dispatch the 
messages ( well call the functions passed to select).

This also means that you can service your select calls on whatever 
thread you like.

Just a thought.
