The point of the accept abstraction is to allow people to poll on things other than regular sockets. The pipe-of-death is just one such example. An SSL socket is another, as is a UDP socket, or a hundred other examples. We should just move the pipe-of-death to the correct pool. Long-term, for threaded MPMs, I want the pipe-of-death to be completely separate from the listen_recs, but that is next week's job on my list.
