[New-bugs-announce] [issue28087] Mac OS X poll syscall returns prematurely

[Ennis Massey]

New submission from Ennis Massey:

Upon calling the select.poll objects poll method with no file descriptors registered, it will return an empty list immediately, regardless of the timeout given. This is a problem in the Mac OS X kernels implementation of the poll syscall, but the test can be easily fixed by binding a throwaway socket to the poll objects, and then using the poll method as usual.

Build details are attached
