Well, ISTM that event_poll(_idle) just call Wimp_Poll(_idle), passing on the
parameters. So the crash is nothing to do with the poll word pointer; this
can quite happlily be NULL (provided mask bit 22 is 0)

However, passing it a NULL for the poll block pointer seems a bit of a
suicidal thing to do, and I can't see that working in Acorn's event library
either.

So, I see no bugs here...
