Is there a bug that track this? If so, including it in a comment
would help us delete this special case in distant future.

Hi Jano,

Apple's poll() implementation was broken in many ways over the years,
but it's slowly getting better. Originally it wasn't able to deal even
with stdin [1] and supported only network sockets.

Also, there was a bug in macOS 10.12 [2] that was fixed in 10.12.2. And
gnustep has a test for the /dev/null bug [3]. Since [3] was done 11
years ago I haven't submitted a ticket for the issue but I'm surely can
do that and then I'd add a tag to commit message or a comment:

Apple-Feedback: FB<ISSUE NUMBER>

Would that work for you?

Sounds good.

Jano
