Can I get the following change reviewed please?

The problem is that poll(2) doesn't seem to work in a specific edge case tested by JCK, namely, when a zero length UDP message is sent on a DatagramSocket. The problem is only detected on timed reads, ie. normal blocking reads work fine.

The fix is to make the NET_Timeout() function use select() instead of poll().

Thanks, Michael.
