	     *
	     * Some operating systems (Solaris 2.6 and higher (but not
	     * Solaris 2.5, go figure)) generate READABLE and
	     * EXCEPTION events when select()'ing [*] on a plain file,
	     * even if EOF was not yet reached. This is a problem in
	     * the following situation:
	     *
	     * - An extension asks to get both READABLE and EXCEPTION
	     *   events.
	     * - It reads data into a buffer smaller than the buffer
	     *   used by Tcl itself.
	     * - It does not process all events in the event queue, but
	     *   only only one, at least in some situations.
	     *
	     * In that case we can get into a situation where
	     *
	     * - Tcl drops READABLE here, because it has data in its own
	     *   buffers waiting to be read by the extension.
	     * - A READABLE event is syntesized via timer.
	     * - The OS still reports the EXCEPTION condition on the file.
	     * - And the extension gets the EXCPTION event first, and
	     *   handles this as EOF.
	     *
	     * End result ==> Premature end of reading from a file.
	     *
	     * The concrete example is 'Expect', and its [expect]
	     * command (and at the C-level, deep in the bowels of
	     * Expect, 'exp_get_next_event'. See marker 'SunOS' for
	     * commentary in that function too).
	     *
	     * [*] As the Tcl notifier does. See also for marker
	     * 'SunOS' in file 'exp_event.c' of Expect.
	     *
	     * Our solution here is to drop the interest in the
	     * EXCEPTION events too. This compiles on all platforms,
	     * and also passes the testsuite on all of them.
