Hi Naresh,


[+Cc Joel since this is _not related_ to the fdinfo patches but rather
 the polling tests]

Thanks for following up here. See for more comments below.

Note, that this failure is _not_ related to the fdinfo and NSpid patches
here.
It's rather related to the polling testing code that Joel added. Iirc,
then it is timing sensitive.
I'll try to make some room this week to look into this.
