confirmed: it's poll.  Still not sure what to do about it, it's used
in atomicio.

$ cat polltest.c
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <poll.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        struct rlimit rl_zero;
        struct pollfd pfd;
        int fd, r, enforce_limit = 0;

        if (argc == 2 && strcmp(argv[1], "limit") == 0)
                enforce_limit = 1;

        fd = open("/dev/null", "r");
        if (enforce_limit) {
                rl_zero.rlim_cur = rl_zero.rlim_max = 0;
                setrlimit(RLIMIT_FSIZE, &rl_zero);
                setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rl_zero);
        }

        pfd.fd = fd;
        pfd.events = POLLOUT;
        r = poll(&pfd, 1, -1);
        printf("poll = %d, error: %s\n", r, strerror(errno));
}

$ gcc polltest.c && ./a.out
poll = 1, error: Error 0
$ ./a.out limit
poll = -1, error: Invalid argument

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
