Comment(by dirkmoermans@…):

 The patch solves the problem for me.

 I dumped some traces with the contents of events[i].events and got as
 output without the patch in an endless loop:

 {{{
 events[i].events=1c
 events[i].events & ~(POLLERR | POLLHUP) = 4
 }}}

 4 corresponds to POLLOUT  in sys/poll.h:
 {{{
 #define POLLOUT         0x0004          /* fd is writeable (won't block)
 */
 }}}

 I don't know why it is not reproducable, but it would be great if you
 would include your patch in the next boost-release.
