Relying on epoll_wait() returning 0 works flawless if one only have curl sockets in the epoll so it was faulty logic when the application was expanded beyond handling only curl requests. Anyway I've redone the logic anyway to minimize the overhead penalty of calling curl_multi_timeout() on each iteration of the main event loop and now actually uses the timer callback but instead of relying on epoll_wait() returning 0 I calculate when the timeout have timed out against the wallclock (clock_gettime() + timeout from the callback), and check that instead which I of course should have done from the beginning. That way the overhead is minimized (just a call to clock_gettime() wich for this specific implementation is overhead that I can live with) and there is no need for any external timers or event libs, just bog standard epoll. /HH
