Hi Pablo,

There are people looking at dbpoll().  It will require some reworking of the
socket handling.  I wouldn't be surprised to see dbsettime() implemented
along the way.

I think you will find that's fixed in 0.61.  I know it was worked on and
tested.  

I would be happy to add QNX to our "runs on" list.  If you could merge your
changes into a recent snapshot and send us a patch, perhaps we could include
them in future releases.  Then, when dbpoll() is ready, you won't be
confronted with another porting effort.
