That flags value is EV_ERROR.  It indicates your attempt to
register an event on a closed descriptor.  You do not need to
disable or delete events manually if the descriptor is closed,
if that was the intent.  Closing a descriptor causes all events
registered on it to be removed automatically.  You need to get
those events for closed descriptors out of your input queue.
