Actually I found out the test failure is not 100% reproducible. I have
seen it failing in steps 6, 9 and IIRC also step 10 of eventtest.
What I think is happening is that poll() is returning much sooner than
we anticipate. When you give it a timeout, it'll return upto 1 timeslice
before the timeout is due. I suspect that this is what is tripping up
the test case on Mandriva. Could you apply the following patch, and
re-build & run LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 ./eventtest again, and also re-run with
the 'strace -ttt -f ./eventtest' (i forgot to ask for -f last time).

Daniel
