I've committed the patch so far, but another case occurred to me.

Replace /dev/tty with /dev/zero and we're back to the unkillable loop.

It's been this way since workers/12222 in July 2000.  The bug report
to which that was a response had to do with a write loop (emulating
"tee" to multiple outputs).  Do we actually need to discard EINTR on
the read loop, or did that just get put in for symmetry?
