Yes, it's an usleep(autocorrect * 100000) basically (poll takes
milliseconds, not micro).

OK, it is _supposed_ to do this usleep(), but is does not, as poll() returns early with EFAULT in this case:
  /* EFAULT is not necessary to implement, but let's do it in the
     simplest case. */
  if (!pfd)
    {
      errno = EFAULT;
      return -1;
    }

poll() is doing this before calling select(), so won't sleep.
So there's a bug in {gnulib|git}'s poll(), right?

Yes, it should be "if (!pfd && nfd)".
