Ermm, you *really* want me to submit a patch removing 'Conforms to
POSIX.1-2001' from *every* Linux manpage?

Only on the pages you think there is an error that matters.

If there's consensus that the current shutdown(), dup2(), close() and 
accept() behaviour are not POSIX-compliant then I can do that, sure.

Have you tested the patch I sent ?

The AF_UNIX poll one? No, I don't have the means to do so, and in any
case that's not a POSIX issue, just a plain bug. I'm happy to log a bug
if that helps.

We submit patches when someone needs a fix.

If not, we have more urgent issues to solve first.

I wrote following test case, and confirmed the patch fixes the issue.

I will submit it formally.

Thanks, works for me - the poll() issue only affects AF_UNIX sockets in 
the listen state and is easily avoided by simply not setting the output 
bits in the poll events mask, so it's not exactly high priority.
