Exactly :-)
POLLERR, POLLHUP, and POLLNVAL must be set when the corresponding
events occured, even if the listener hasn't registered them.
The poll() function itself can deal with POLLNVAL (which only means
that the file descriptor was invalid), but the stack has to notify
POLLERR and POLLHUP.
I think we currently already have some sort of a wrapper function for
those events, so that it should be easy to extend it to handle this
correctly (for all different versions of BeOS it should run on).
Adios...
Axel.
