Hi Petr,

Thanks for the note and the patch.  I'm forwarding it on to
upstream.

I have to say, my first reaction is to ask whether this
is deliberate or not.  The code in question (from sys/signal.h)
reads:

/* codes for SIGPOLL */
#define POLL_IN		1	/* Data input available			*/
#define POLL_OUT	2	/* Output buffers available		*/
#define POLL_MSG	3	/* Input message available		*/
#define POLL_ERR	4	/* I/O Error				*/
#define POLL_PRI	5	/* High priority input available	*/
#define POLL_HUP	4	/* Device disconnected			*/


If it were really meant to duplicate POLL_ERR, then
arguably it should be written 

  #define POLL_HUP POLL_ERR



Are you certain that POLL_HUP isn't meant to be "6"?

Thanks,
-Steve
