It is unlikely that 3 was a valid fd then.

Indeed, libev verifies that the app passes in a valid fd, and fails with an
assertion otherwise.

If you can call ioctlsocket with 3, then it most likely isn't a valid fd,
as ioctlsocket does NOT accept fd's, it wants socket handles.

The API requires file descriptors on every platform, including
windows. The fix is to pass in file descriptors, not os-specific handles
(if you want to work on a fix, you should research the list archives,
also, the documentation has some information on windows).
