Have you considered the possibility that data is arriving between
epoll_ctl and pthread_cond_wait ?  If your monitoring thread returns
from epoll_wait within this race window, it will call
pthread_cond_signal while the first thread is not yet waiting for it.
With the one-shot flag, the next iteration of epoll_wait won't see that
socket's new data.
