Bug#733680: I prepared a fix for it.

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all,

thanks for the investigation - I was wondering why the Spork tests failed. In
any case, I prepared a fix for it at:

https://github.com/ingydotnet/io-all-pm/pull/21

I'm attaching a diff for it.

Just for reference:

It also happens with perl-5.10.1.

To me it seems like a regression in glibc or the kernel.

Best regards,
