Repro'd here on Valgrind. Oh, that's interesting. WaitEventSetWait()
wants to use an internal buffer of the size given to the constructor
function, but passes the size of the caller's output buffer to
epoll_wait() and friends. Perhaps it should use Min(nevents,
set->nevents_space). I mean, I should have noticed that, but I think
that's arguably a pre-existing bug in the WES code, or at least an
unhelpful interface. Thinking...
