You may want to try this:

2489.	[port]		solaris: Workaround Solaris's kernel bug about
			/dev/poll:
			http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6724237
			Define ISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH at build time to enable
			this workaround. [RT #18870]

Note, however, that this is workaround after all and may still cause
problematic behavior.  The essential fix is to apply Sun's patch to
the kernel bug (I hear it exists, but don't know how widely it's
available).
