You need to disable the other methods for EPOLL to be used.. The
priority between the methods currently is:

   1. poll
   2. select
   3. kqueue
   4. epoll
   5. select as last effort even if not found

See configure.in where USE_EPOLL is defined.

Robert: This should be cleaned up before release. It should only be
required to use one configure option to select which I/O method to
use, not four, and if a method is given to configure but not existing
on the system then the build should error, not silently select
another..
