OS X poll(2) is broken; use compat replacement 

Darwin's poll(2) implementation is broken. For character-special
devices like /dev/null, it returns POLLNVAL when polled with
POLLIN.

Apparently this is Apple bug 3710161, which is AFAIK not public,
but a websearch will find other OSS projects rediscovering it
periodically since it was first identified in 2005 (!!)
