Do I understand this correctly that we'd somehow need to distinguish between: - systems where poll() is available and working - systems where poll() is available but doesn't do the right thing under certain circumstances (what are these (*)?) - systems where poll() is unavailable (*): I've heard about grief with poll() on OS/X 10.4 but that's long out of support, and that poll() on current OS/X wouldn't trigger on events with zero-sized data. Do we care about that latter case, or are there additional ways poll() on OS/X can fail/not do what we want/expect?
