What does 'fails' mean in this context? Does it mean both 'NO' and 'BAD' 
responses, or only 'NO'?

I ask because the CMU server remains in the previous selected state, if a 
subsequent SELECT results in a 'BAD' response. It correctly leaves selected 
state if a subsequent SELECT results in a 'NO'.
