Hi Sasha,

This should do any harm, but I deliberately didn't cc stable on
this one.

Alex, my assumption on this one is that it was fixing a logical
ordering problem, but one that had no visible impact.
Whilst the pollfunc will be attached too early, the trigger
will be disabled for the whole of this function anyway so
it shouldn't cause any visible problem.  Is that a correct interpretation?
There are going to be a few more similar fixes in the near future
as Alex is trying to tidy up various paths so we can do a general
bit of refactoring.

If I'm too late for this, then not a problem, just noise
in the stable release.

Jonathan
