I don't see why we wouldn't just change the code to use poll() right
away.  poll is available everywhere and works in (roughly) the same
way.  It will fix the specific bug here.

poll's downside compared to nonportable approaches is that if you have
many hundreds or thousands of fds it can be less efficient.  I think
we can deal with the efficiency problem later.  As Ian writes, it
might be better to fork instead.
