Even so, the behaviour I was seeing was far worse than I expected: CPU
usage was pegged at 100% (almost all of it in system time) even with
no clients; strace confirmed that nothing else was going on than a
ping from the management process every three seconds.  I don't know if
this has anything to do with passing in bogus pollfds (with fd = -1);
a colleague looked through the kernel source while I was working on
the epoll code and could not find anything to indicate that this
should be a problem.
