I'm not sure an accepter socket is 'connected' in the usual sense.  We 
call accept(2) on it, but there is no peer...

The problem si that as soon as you close(2), the fd is freed and available 
for use by someone else.  If you use it again you'll either get EBADF (if 
you're lucky) or (more likely) some other thread will open a file or 
socket and you'll trample all over whatever they are trying to do.  In 
short: be very very careful nobody is using the fd anymore before you 
close it!

Currenty we join before closing (right?).

A workaround might be to set a modest timeout (say, 1s) on the poll.  
Worst case, you wait up to 1s to shut down, which isn't to bad, and in the 
normal case you only wake up needlessly once per second (also not *too* 
bad).

That's probably the most elegant/correct solution... I'm not sure that teh 
current behavior where we call shutdown(2) on an unconnected socket and it 
wakes up poll(2) is well-defined behavior.
