Bug Description

Since FD-STREAMS implicitly use SERVE-EVENT, all FD-STREAMS -- even those which block and never actually need to serve events -- pay for the overhead. (At least 1 extra syscall per input buffer fill.)

Also, as long as SERVE-EVENT is limited by FD_SETSIZE, this can cause trouble to users who have not explicitly requested serve-event functionality.
