but isn't a event source based on using select/poll ? 

sure, i have this working for now by sticking a pipe in place, and
writing a byte to the pipe from the POSIX signal handler. i don't want
to do it that way: its way to heavyweight. i want an "event source"
that is literally just a flag variable that can be set directly from a
POSIX signal handler. is this what Tim has done ?
