Not sure about that other software and how POLLIN is related here.
The software in question (mozilla nspr) checks for POLLNVAL, POLLERR, POLLPRI
and POLLOUT to determine if anything interesting has happened to a connection
supposed to be in progress.  They aren't checking for POLLHUP at all and thus
they keep thinking that the connection is still in progress when they get it.
