The test for issue 3590 causes an error to be printed to stderr when run (although the error is obscured during go test std). This is confusing for people who get breakage in the net package as the error is harmless and most likely unrelated to their build breakage.
Given the way the test works, by reaching into the guts of the netFD, I can't see a way to silence the error without adding a bunch of code to support the test, therefore I am suggesting the test be removed before Go 1.1 ships.

Update #4434.
The proposal attempts to reduce the number of places where fd,{r,w}deadline is checked and updated in preparation for issue 4434. In doing so the deadline logic is simplified by letting the pollster return errTimeout from netFD.Wait{Read,Write} as part of the wakeup logic.
The behaviour of setting n = 0 has been restored to match rev 2a55e349097f, which was the previous change to fd_unix.go before CL 6851096.

A fix similar to CL 6859043 was effective in resolving the intermittent failure.
Fixes#4423.
