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.
