You're sure? sys_read is only called if select indicated that something is
readable. Reading http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/read.html
I get the impression that EINTR is only returned when there's no data
available. In all other cases it should return the amount of data actually
read:

[EINTR]
    The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, and no
    data was transferred.

Is read(2) still an interruptible system call when select has indicated
readability?
