I haven't looked at this in detail, but are you sure that this isn't
the bug that was fixed by commit
e81e8f9342b037246b284bad15e42e21b1929301 ? The "invalid argument"
poll() error is too generic to be sure what is really at fault, but
this doesn't need to be a FATAL error, it seems.
Is this a 32-bit platform? It's probably just that there is a large
number of sockets, which Google seems to think can cause this error
with poll(), so this seems like a slight variant of the problem
reported by Sean Chittenden (kernel resource exhaustion causes pipe
creation to fail, with unnecessarily bad consequences for Postgres).
