A problem that I have had (2.0.2) with ISC is that if I have a socket
that is a passive socket, and I poll() on it, waiting for input,
poll() does _not_ return when another process connects to the socket
(neither does select())..  This means that if I want to read/write on
connected sockets _and_ listen for new connections, I lose.
