Is it a feature or a bug of Tiger that poll() does not support stdin?
It's an unfortunate but known bug in Tiger, introduced by switching poll()
from an underlying select-based mechanism to a kqueue-based mechanism.
Kqueue in OS X does not work on devices such as terminals (regardless of
what file descriptor they're assigned). There's an issue with binary
compatibility inside the kernel that prevented it being fixed in Tiger,
but hopefully it can be sorted in Leopard because it's an ongoing
headache.
