You need do all your forking before you call event_init. libevent on
Solaris uses /dev/poll, and /dev/poll doesn't support children inheriting a
parent's /dev/poll file descriptor.
>From poll(7d):
The /dev/poll driver caches a list of polled file descrip-
tors, which are specific to a process. Therefore, the
/dev/poll file descriptor of a process will be inherited by
its child process, just like any other file descriptors. But
the child process will have very limited access through this
inherited /dev/poll file descriptor. Any attempt to write or
do ioctl by the child process will result in an EACCES
error. The child process should close the inherited
/dev/poll file descriptor and open its own if desired.
