Strange, that should work - the zpoller_add documentation is missing
it, but the zpoller_new doc clearly says a file handle is supported,
and the implementation confirms it - you should be able to pass it a
file descriptor as you are doing.

Did you by any chance compile libzmq with draft apis and the new
zmq_poller APIs? That changes the implementation quite a bit, and there
might be regressions yet unspotted.
