sys_epoll 2.5.51 (which I believe is still current) was backported to 2.4.20 in
the following patch and should provide the support you're looking for:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104009079418105&w=2
Note it won't apply cleanly to 2.4.18, but should be easy to rework.

Janet, I'll have to change a few bits in eventpoll.c this weekend. I will
repost the 2.4.x patch inside the epoll page @xmailserver.org
