Is it really necessary to have rwhod go round in a loop like this
wasting CPU time? What was wrong with using alarm() ?
It doesn't seem to work either -- it doesn't see any of the broadcast
messages, while the old rwhod works just fine.

Ah, I see the problem, that pfd[0].revents =3D POLLIN line should be
pfd[0].revents =3D pfd[0].events =3D POLLIN, I think. After making that
change it works, but I still don't see why it has to sit in a loop
waking up every second to do bugger all.
