Why does the code make the pipe file descriptor non-blocking, when it then always reads it using that odd "poll_read()" function that does a loop with poll() and read(). I guess there is some 1-second timeout thing. It's a bit odd in other ways too. The "handle_events()" function is passed the fd, but then it never actually uses it, and uses 'autodir.k_pipe' instead. So I'm having a bit of trouble following the *logic* to any of that, but the only reads I found did seem to match the "read whole packet" model, so it does look ok too.
