Bug report

test_epoll.test_control_and_wait can flake. In the test we wait for events on two file descriptors. This is done in a single call to select.epoll's poll() function. However, it is valid for the OS to return only one event via poll() and the next via a subsequent call to poll(). This rarely happens, but it can cause the test to fail despite properly functioning polling.
