Hm. The Single Unix Spec saith that POLLERR is ignored in the events
field, but it is not clear to me that older systems might not treat it
as a condition bit. For instance on HPUX the poll man page says only
The condition flags POLLERR, POLLHUP, and POLLNVAL are always set in
revents if the conditions they indicate are true for the specified
file descriptor, whether or not these flags are set in events.

We don't need to check what was returned because the action is the same
either way: do a recv(). I'm not seeing the point of setting POLLPRI.
