A bit more research brings up this link:
	http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-02/0098.html
in which we learn:

	stdin, ... is a device and therefore doesn't work with darwin's
	poll. In this case poll just spews POLLNVAL 

Sounds like our case.

WTF?  Ok, so poll() on Darwin is busted.

Looks like I'll have to code up an emulation of poll() using select() and 
provide some mechanism for the poor installer to install 
poll_with_select() even when poll() is available.

I'll get back to you on this...!
