I was concerned when I first saw this patch.  Unfortunately, I just
tried it and my concerns were realized.

This patch causes poll() to hang again when only an invalid file
descriptor is specified.  See the following for a test case:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2001-q3/msg00109.html

Please revert this patch or modify it so that poll() does not hang.

Thanks,
Jason
