I should mention that the 2.4 patch is old WRT mainline epoll in 2.6 (I stopped maintaining it when 2.6 went "stable"). I'd definitely suggest to use 2.6 if you are looking at epoll.

I am using linux-2.6.11 and glibc-2.3.4 .. and using select() in it's place seems to work fine. Are there any known issues with say, one thread does epoll_wait()s while other threads may be doing epoll_ctl()s?

Is there someone else I should be asking this question?

Thanks,
Davy
