As an interesting side-note, it seems libevent-2.0.4 uses the same
trick as libev w.r.t. epoll now, except that it doesn't protect against
the "linux epoll fork bug" (or the "deliberate design", depending on
viewpoint), which explains the many reports I got that libevent-2 went
into busy loops after a fork (which I thought impossible).
