Hi Alex,

http://www.software-lab.de/refP.html#poll says:

   (poll 'cnt) -> cnt | NIL

   Checks for the availability of data for reading on the file
   descriptor cnt. See also open, in and close.

   : (and (poll *Fd) (in @ (read)))  # Prevent blocking

The comment is a bit misleading as it does not prevent blocking
really.  The data might be available but the 'read' function might
still block.

Cheers,

Tomas
