Summary: poll gives WSAEINVAL when POLLPRI is set in fdset.events

Initial Comment:
Hi

curl version: 7.18.2

Tried to build curl on VS 2005.
Single easy http fetch fails with CURLE_GOT_NOTHING.

Setting following in setup.h fixes the problem:
#undef POLLPRI
#define POLLPRI 0

The build uses Winsock 2.

The problem seems to be in Curl_socket_ready function.
Function sets POLLPRI bit to pollfd events field.

The POLLPRI seems to have value 0x0400 at least
in Windows platform sdk header winsock2.h.

poll (WSAPoll) then returns WSAEINVAL.

According to following page, POLLPRI is not among values for events field:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740094(VS.85).aspx

My guess is that some windows update
added error checks that don't like POLLPRI.
Another possibility is that versions of the header files
have different values for POLLPRI.

Hope this helps...
Thanks for the cool software.

Yes, MS maps priority (out-of-band) data to POLLRDBAND.

Can you verify if this patch works for you ?
