Description
This is an issue with poll (and epoll) on Linux. If a file descriptor for a connected socket is polled with a request event mask of 0, and if the connection is abruptly terminated (RST) then the poll wakes up with the POLLHUP (and maybe POLLERR) bit set in the returned event set. The implication of this behaviour is that Selector will wakeup and as the interest set for the SocketChannel is 0 it means there aren't any selected events and the select method returns 0.

SUGGESTED FIX The issue requires changes to two of our Selector implementation (the poll and epoll implementations). The changes to the epoll Selector are straight-forward but the changes to the poll Selector are not. Fix: Change in code of EPollArrayWrapper.java and a test case has been added: CloseWhenKeyIdle.java
