The poll() way works on numerous other platforms, which I think is proof
enough to say that Mac OS X 10.4 has a bad poll().

The configure test for poll() is expected to return 0 since poll(0,0,10)
should return a timeout after 10ms.

Thanks. I've now comitted a modified configure test that skips the poll() test
if running on darwin. Would you be able to test it? It is available in CVS
right now, and in the soon (in about 4 hours and 30 minutes) appearing daily
snapshot for May 14th: http://cool.haxx.se/curl-daily/
