the reason there are 2 is that one is used when your system has poll,
the other when you use select... that's what the

look
#ifdef USE_POLL
... code using poll
#else
copy of same code using select

> why to force a fatal_dump?
it means that comm_select is bein called with the incorrect value...
which means eventNextTime is returning a value >60, which means some
event (such as running expire on the cache) is scheduling itself
to a very wierd value... like a negative number?

if ((loop_delay = eventNextTime()) < 0)
            loop_delay = 0;
        switch (comm_select(loop_delay)) {
