I assume we aren't going to follow the useless POSIX spec for handling
O_NONBLOCK'ing reads wrt select and friends?  If you're interested in a
basic test case, I can send you one...

(That selecting on a fifo for read that doesn't have a writer will
return true, due to the fact that EOF is available for reading on a
O_NONBLOCK fifo.)
