Operating system?
Sorry; it's Solaris 9 / SPARC.
Errno 13 is usually EACCES. What are the permissions on /dev/poll?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Oct 13 12:38 /dev/poll -> ../devices/pseudo/poll@0:poll crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 138, 0 Apr 1 12:21 /dev/../devices/pseudo/poll@0:poll
So, to me the permissions look okay...
It's a fatal error because there's currently only support for one backend implementation at a time (ie there's no fallback available when the error is detected).
Yikes... is that as bad as it sounds to me?
