    There was a bug in my code. I am unable to find it, but I wrote a
    minimal to case to prove my point, and actually I proved myself
    wrong. Test case follows. If I ever find the time I'll try to
    experiment and discover why in "the real thing" poll did not work
    for me.

    #include <sys/poll.h>
    #include <sys/socket.h>
    #include <netinet/in.h>
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
      struct pollfd fds;
      int res1, res2, nevents;
      struct sockaddr_in sockaddr;

      fds.fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
      fds.events = POLLIN;
      
      
      sockaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
      sockaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
      sockaddr.sin_port = htons(50000);
      
      res1 = bind(fds.fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sockaddr,
    sizeof(sockaddr));
      res2 = listen(fds.fd, 20);

      if (fds.fd == -1 || res1 == -1 || res2 == -1) {
        fprintf(stderr, "The program failed miserably.\n");
        exit(1);
      }
      
      fprintf(stderr, "I'm about to suspend myself on a poll
    syscall!\n");
      nevents = poll(&fds, 1, -1);
      fprintf(stderr, "Waking up: nevents = %d\n", nevents);
      
      return 0;
    };
