fatal poll error

I'm getting fatal errors while trying to connect to a tcp port using 7.5.23:

Operating system?

/home/hermes/bwellive/projects/Pike/7.5/src/backend.cmod:403: Fatal error: Failed to register fd 4 for 0x0041 with /dev/poll (errno:13).

Errno 13 is usually EACCES. What are the permissions on /dev/poll?

Any idea why these would be _fatal_ errors (ie pike bails out)?

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).
