With this sample configuration.
pd::PollDevice (eth0, PROMISC true) -> q01::Queue (4096) -> c01::Counter
-> td1::Todevice (eth1)

What I mean was:
# cat /click/pd/*

This situation is not one that I expected.  When PollDevice is
running, click should consume cpu.
In other word, it seems that click thread is not invoking run_task()
of PollDevice element.

If PollDevice is used to work with previous version from git, why
don't you try git-biset?
