Previous comment was only on the else block; I just noticed the extra
apr_pollset_remove() here:
apr_pollset_remove(event_pollset, baton->pfds[i]);
}
+ apr_pollset_remove(event_pollset, out_pfd);
push_timer2worker(te);
}
It shouldn't be necessary either, since out_pfd is included in baton->pfds;
it gets removed in the for loop just before.
