inspircd consumes all cpu

=== Ubuntu release ===

$lsb_release -rd

=== What happened ===

When I ran inspircd like so:

> $inspircd --config inspircd.conf --nofork

It consumed an entire cpu (it also did this without nofork)

stracing the process with strace -p showed lots of the following

poll([{fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, {fd=0, events=0}, ...], 1024, 1000) = 1 ([...])
time(NULL) = 1337733367

=== What I expected to happen ===

It not to consume an entire cpu.

=== Speculation on the cause ===

This would appear to be this bug: https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/issues/34, which seems to have had this fix https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/pull/62/commits (which seems like a security fix that happens to fix this bug).

This patch does not cleanly apply to the tree (however it will with minor tweaking). I'm not sure if this patch actually works because the version of inspircd shipped with pangolin does not build under pangolin due to the lack of libgnutls-config or similar.

=== Possible fix ===

Someone who can actually build inspircd on their machine might like to apply this patch and see if this fixes the problem.
