I will try to alter it this way. However, there is no easy way of 
testing such case, apart from compiling specially crafted linux program.
Also forking after poll is a marginal case. Doubt it ever matters in 
practice.

I found two more problems with the patch: epoll_wait treats timeout as 
if it was in microseconds, when it is in milliseconds. Also epoll_wait 
doesn't check for the special case of timeout=-1. I corrected both 
issues. Will do additional testing, and will submit PR with an updated 
patch when done.
