Inspired by Martijn Koster's patch and example source at

http://www.greenhills.co.uk/mak/gentoo/curl-eintr-bug.c, I now made the
select() and poll() calls properly loop if they return -1 and errno is
EINTR. glibc docs for this is found here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Interrupted-Primitives.html

This last link says BSD doesn't have this "effect". Will there be a problem
if we do this unconditionally?
