Mph. Reading the bug report and the code snippet more closely, the
complaint is totally irrelevant to libpq anyway. What he's complaining
about is a case where another thread of a multithreaded application
close()s the descriptor that a poll() is using. That is *not* related
to the other end of the connection closing the connection, which is the
case the OP was concerned about.
