epoll is pretty heavily benchmarked and hence tested. I don't entirely
understand the remark above and suggest looking at the generated core dumps.
I just mean that when I debug and catch the segv, it's dies because
some pointers now have corrupted values. (usually because something is
overwriting some memory some where)
I'm currently re-writing some code to make it use select() instead of
epoll_wait() and see if everything is suddently fixed. If so, then I
will suspect that epoll has a problem. But it's still not ruled out
being my fault since it could be a timing issue that makes the crash
show up.
