+# Sometimes epoll is broken.  This happens to be the case on
+# at least the maintainer's desktop box running Linux 2.6.11-rc1
+# on adm64.
+#
+# If tor does not work at all for you, i.e. connection attempts
+# through tor just have forever and never finish, then consider
+# setting EVENT_NOEPOLL, so libevent does not use epoll.  If that
+# happens to fix it for you, please let the mainainer (weasel@xxxxxxxxxx)
+# know, mentioning your kernel version, libevent version, and architecture.
+# Thanks!
