This was an absolute nightmare to diagnose. It turns out there's a kernel bug: poll with events = POLLHUP will receive an event for NOT POLLHUP internally in the kernel, delete their event subscription, and then not receive events for any HUP later. lol! lmao!! We choose to use plain old EVFILT_READ because the watched fd can be either a socket or a pipe and it's preferable to eat some spurious wakeups than have separate paths for those. The alternative is using EVFILT_SOCK, a private API that's existed for years and which netty uses for its sockets, but that doesn't work on pipes.
