C++ :: FIFO Reads Endlessly After Closing It On Producer Side

Right after I close FIFO on the producer side, the app on the consumer side gets into an endless loop. select() returns that FIFO is ready to read. Below is the excerpt from the consumer code. The FIFO is opened "blocking" on both ends.

Code:

FifoClass fifo_r = FifoClass("/tmp/FIFO_READ");
int fdr = fifo_r.OpenR();// this->fd = open(name.c_str(), O_RDONLY , 0);
for(int i=0; ;i++) {
FD_ZERO(&rset);
FD_SET(fdr, &rset);
