Re: PR_Write blocks indefinitely

I'm afraid I misdiagnosed this problem.  After further debug work, it turns
out the PR_Write was fine.  Unfortunately, I have managed to confirm that
PR_NewPollableEvent intermittently returns NULL with a NSPR error -5974. 
The machine in question has plenty of system resources available, so this
seems a slightly odd error.  Also, we do a lot of memory allocation/socket
creation etc in our program, but none of these calls fail.  I managed to
work round the problem by retrying the call (which invariably works), but
this doesn't explain why it was happening in the first place.  I would be
interested if anyone else is encountering this issue...
